Probably not an issue for most people, but dictionary support was mentioned originally.

Although I'm another one who finds the installed Kobo dictionary adequate for purpose, I'm still puzzled by the Kobo decision not to offer additional dictionaries in a similar way to Kindle. I have toyed with the idea of installing additional English dictionaries, and some non-supported dictionaries, but all that faffing about with Penelope and SQLlite triggers my "what, cosmically speaking, is the point?" button, and inertia prevails. I would quite happily buy a dictionary upgrade and/or dictionaries in the languages for which I actually need them.
