As Mobama mentioned there are real differences between Kobo and Kindle on this question. The reason why a similar warning to Kindle buyers is apparently not necessary is that there is a larger choice of better dictionaries on Kindle, at least this seems to be the belief of Kindle users and particularly friends of mine who use their Kindle for reading foreign literature.
I am not personally (yet!) a Kindle user so I am not well placed to give information about this (though I have had a quick look at the Kindle forums on these questions). What I beleive is that Kindle does not block you or prevent users from having several dictionaries (bilingual and monolingual) of the same language. Kobo does. That is why there are "jailbreaking " methods for Kobo being developed (and available on this forum) to try to remedy this problem.
