I agree that the Kindle dictionaries are better. There is one really good feature in the Kobo dictionary that the Kindle doesn't have: if I'm reading a definition and I don't know some word in the definition I can long press that word and be taken to IT'S definition. The Kindle won't do that. Other than that, though, the Kindle dictionaries are much better.

The Kindle's translation feature is also better except that it can only be used when you have internet access. The Kobo's translation feature is built in but it works a word at a time, not on phrases.

It is possible to add a translation dictionary to the Kindle that you can take with you when you don't have internet access and it works pretty much like the Kobo's translation, a word at a time. Because neither of them support Latin I've added a Latin dictionary to my Kindle and it's always there.
