The updates to the dictionaries aren't supposed to be available until the 1st. I wouldn't expect you to be seeing any differences. But. I was told that the French dictionary would remain as Mirriam-Webster. But, maybe they meant that it wasn't changing. Or their arrangement for it is through Mirriam-Webster.

I believe at least part of the reason for the dictionary changes is that licenses have expired. It could be that the French dictionary was part of a different deal. Or that they couldn't find a better supplier

I still wish Kobo would at least let us buy a real dictionnary.
I have always liked that idea. I don't know if it is something they don't want to do, or there are issue with implementing it. I can see the legal issues. And of course, how much would people be willing to pay? That might make it not worth it to them. Or maybe just not enough people want it.
