I pissed off because of all this situation really. I bought this eBook, they got my money and still I am not the owner and not allowed to use all functions of the eBook as suitable for me.

Yeah, I know that they probably aware of potential law suits be cause of users can use copyright\stolen dictionaries, but hell, they totally can write down statement in user agreement part, mentioning that all responsibility is on end user.
Sorry, but you have no justification for this. At no point does Kobo claim the devices support random languages or dictionaries. The fact that some users have reverse engineered the device and worked out how some of this works, does not imply any promise of support from Kobo. You can try it, but if it doesn't work, it is your problem, not theirs.

Of course, I wish Kobo did support it. Or some other method of getting different dictionaries. When they changed the dictionary support, I thought Kobo would follow this by selling better or extra dictionaries.
