Perhaps worth noting, too, that you can buy additional dictionaries in the Kindle Store and add them to the device. I don't believe it's possible to add additional dictionaries to the Kobo (is it?).
The Tolino uses a dictionary based upon Wiktionary and my experience is that its English dictionary is actually better in use and content than the Kobo English dictionary (that may just be my poor luck in which words I happened to want to look up).
