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.

Yeah, not disputing whether it's a better dictionary -- just that I don't notice myself. I was saying this may very well be because on Kobo you can do a Google search (or search Wikipedia, or search within the book) for the highlighted word(s) if the dictionary entry leaves you wanting to know more. And I miss that when I'm reading on my Kindle.
