The Kindle does have a better dictionary. They use the OED. I forget what dictionary Kobo uses, but it's not as thorough. You can search through the Kobo forums. There are discussions of the different dictionaries.

Having said all that, I've never found the Kobo dictionary lacking. It's not like their dictionary is junk.

It's a feature I rarely ever use. When I have used it, it hasn't let me down. There are different reasons I might try a Kindle, but their better dictionary wouldn't be one of them.

When you say "I definitely miss that on Kindle" what are you talking about? That sentence lost me.
