The dictionary ***may not work if you're reading books from other sources, such as books you get from a public library, or free eBooks you’ve found on the Internet. The dictionary also does not work with PDFs. ***”
The Kobo dictionaries won't likely meet your standards. I don't use the dictionaries a lot so I don't have issues with it, but I've seen enough people complain that they are very good to know that a heavy user like yourself won't like them. The dictionary WILL work with pretty much anything other than pdf, and it doesn't work with pdf since there is no pdf reflow so it's treating the text basically like an image rather than text.
