Yes, once you are proficient you can read the books on an ereader. I'd check first the languages are officially supported before buying a model, though you might get by with simply using Calibre to embed the required fonts (that won't work on some ereaders for some languages). Unless you are proof reading in the language you don't need a different keyboard simply to press on a word, but again if the language isn't officially supported any dictionary may be poor.
I often find words in French or English in older books not in the dictionaries.
