Of the current choices, the three top candidates are:

Kobo Glo (soon to be replaced with Kobo Aura, which is different from Aura HD)
Kindle Paperwhite (soon to be replacd with Paperwhite 2)
Bookeen Cybook Odyssey FL

All three of them are 6" inch e-ink reader with built in front light and touchscreen (the Bookeen additionally has physical page-turn buttons). On the Paperwhite the light is always on, the two others have on/off switches for it. The level of brightness is adjustable.

What I can't answer is the question about the Hebrew/English dictionary.

The right choice also depends a bit on how you get your e-books and how tech-savvy you are. If you buy mostly at Amazon, then the Kindle is the obvious choice. If you buy books elsewhere, or will mostly get books in the epub format, then I would recommend one of the two others.
