No, avid01 seems to have described a Kobo device that doesn't exist. $120 suggests the Aura Edition 2 but that isn't 212dpi. The Glo HD is 300dpi and isn't capacitive. I'm also reasonably sure the Aura Edition 2 is not capacitive as well.

And as all the Kobo devices use the basic Merriam-Webster dictionary, they won't be suitable. The dictionaries can be replaced, but sourcing and converting a suitable dictionary is the problem.
