Really usefull when you are eating.

Better than dictionnaries, since you have pictures.
That's my Kobo's favorite feature
- Tweaking font.
Useful when ebooks are not really well formatted.
Therefore, I wish the screen contrast/sharpness were as good as my Kindle Voyage.
But it's not.
So I still use both.

I wish I found the Google search (or, for that matter, Wikipedia) as useful as this on my Aura One. When I try either, I get so much screen flashing and a wait as the page loads, not to mention difficulty in scrolling once it has loaded, that I've just stopped using the feature. I like what the Kindle ecosystem does better -- if the WiFi is on, my Oasis will just pull the top paragraph from the Wikipedia entry, which is often enough for quick reference. It doesn't attempt to load a web page but extracts the text, so that the result looks much like a dictionary look-up. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of this and hope Kobo will adopt something similar.
