The email to Kindle thing is obsolete because it sends you Mobi unless you email a dual-format eBook.

As for the dictionary on Kobo, yes the Kindle gives you more choices. But, I use the English dictionary and I find it works for me. I don't have a problem with most of the words I look up. Only the obscure words sometimes don't appear.

The Kobo is responsive enough that with a page turn, I get the page turned by the time I am ready to start reading the next page. Also, with ePub, I get kerning, ligatures, and hyphenation and I don't need a different format to support that. it's done with ePub as it is. With a PW3, you need KFX to get these features. KF8 doesn't do this things as is.

And, one thing you forgot to mention. I've read plenty of people saying font size X is too small and the next up size is too large. This is with a Kindle. With a Kobo, you get many many more font size choices. And you can adjust the weight of the included fonts. So if you have issues with your eyes, a Kobo with a larger screen, adjustable weight, and more font size choices is going to be a winner hands down.
