- phrasal verbs and idioms? Forget it. According to Kobo, they do not exist. As Kobo can search only one word in the dictionary, not a word combination. Though every Kindle can. Even the oldest one.
- to look something up in a dictionary? A simple thing, is not it? Forget it. Every Kindle, even the oldest one, can open its dictionary as a book. Kobo cannot.
Just curious, do you have a kobo ereader?
