Check out the Kobo H2O. From your list, it fulfills all of your Must Haves and most of the rest:
  • HD resolution
  • touchscreen
  • built-in light with blue filter
  • epub
  • 6 inch screen or 6,8 at most
  • price range of €100 - €170
  • Waterproof
  • ability to load custom dictionaries
  • open system
  • Wifi

The only ones missing are:
  • New Oxford English dictionary
  • physical buttons
  • Cloud
  • android

And cloud would be on that list if you buy books from Kobo.

If you drop Waterproofing, you could look at the Clara HD, which otherwise meets all the same requirements.
In the end i did go for the Kobo Aura H2O ed. 2 as it indeed has everything i want.
