I have been searching this forum and the FAQ, but can't find the answer, so I post my problem here.

My beloved Kobo Glo fell on the ground earlier this week, and my screen was dead. I went to the store, bought a Glo HD under the assumption it would work the same as my Glo, but with higher quality.
To my dissappointment, the Glo HD handles books that are not in the Kobo epub format much worse than the Glo did. My main problem is that if I want to look up a definition in the dictionairy, I was used to just tap on the word and there the definition was. That seems no longer to be supported, with .epubs and none-kepubs. I often read in foreign languages, so going to the dictionairy and type in the word my self is not a nice workaround.

My question is: is there a patch or some other fix to solve this problem, so I can easily acces the dictionairy from other formats than kepub? I would very much appreciate your help!
