As for feedback - it seems I can only look up a single character at a time in the dictionary (Kobo 6" running 3.3.0), but in Chinese very often words are combinations of two characters. For instance, 小 means 'little', 心 means 'heart', but together 小心 means 'careful'. If I looked up each individually I'd have no idea what the word actually meant! Any way that you know of to select two characters and look them up as a pair? Does your dictionary have paired characters?

Sorry for the late response. Yes, the dictionary includes words consisting of several characters. The problem is to select the word on the screen.
