I can't comment on the Kindles, but the Kobo firmware provides full dictionary function for sideloaded epubs.

For getting the books onto the device, the calibre support is very good (though maybe I shouldn't be saying that). You can also download books using the built-in browser. Using calibre as a server works and Project Gutenberg works as well. I have tried some others without problem.
