I would like to be able to buy one, too! Very much so. The current English-German dictionary is atrocious.
For example if I want to look up "maim" it says:
Quote:
"No match for "maim", closest match was "maid".
maidn

Which isn't bad at all, given I almost never get even a wrong answer. Most of the time it just says it can't find anything, like for "taught". It is a rare thing for me not to know a word, the ones above I all knew, but if I need to look up on, their dictionary is utterly useless. Might as well have none.
The Tolino OTOH has a very fine dictionary, which has always had what I needed. Same is true for the Sony, theirs was even better than the Tolinos. So it is possible to implement something good. It is just not possible for stingy Kobo.
I'd so much like to spend money on a good dictionary, I could implement easily myself!
