Other ereaders may be more powerful, but Kindles have the better dictionaries. (Registered users can download high quality monolingual and bilingual English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Tamil, Marathi, Gujrati, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese dictionaries for free.)
For example, for Italian you can download the following 3 dictionaries:
1. Oxford Paravia English - Italian Dictionary
2. Oxford Paravia Italian - English Dictionary
3. lo Zingarelli Vocabolario della Lingua Italiana
(You'd have to pay at least $70/€60 for the paper edition of the lo Zingarelli dictionary.)
IIRC, Android users are limited to StarDict dictionaries or standalone dictionary apps that often don't work with ebook apps.
