Aura One and Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary
I'm wondering about the poor quality of the existing English dictionary in the Aura One. I had hoped to simply go to the Kobo store and buy the Merriam-Webster Collegiate (available, for example, for the Kindle, which also offers excellent Oxford dictionary options). But the MW Collegiate doesn't seem to be available in the Kobo store.

Question: Am I right that some earlier Kobo models had the Merriam Webster Collegiate built in? If so, why would Kobo remove this dictionary in favor of the much weaker current offering? Word definitions and etymologies (the latter especially) are valuable to me for various reasons, and I really want to have a solid dictionary in any ereader I use.

Thanks for any thoughts on this. What would you folks consider to be the best English dictionary currently available for the Aura One?
