After many years, I'm going on holiday again, where I have time for a beach chair and a book (fiction & non fiction)

Unfortunately, I have to admit that I can't stand e-readers. At home I always read my e-books with an iPad.
Anyway, so it should only be for holidays without a lot of gimmicks.

What's important to me (descending):
  • No Kindle
  • Dictionary (foreign words & english - I'm German). I find the built-in one on iOS pretty good and would like a similar quality.
  • Size and type as an Oasis. I had one in my hand once and found it more comfortable than the PW style.
  • Customisable reader app
Unfortunately, I've often read that in terms of the dictionary, Kindles are supposed to be the best - is that true? I don't always want to have to pull out my mobile phone for something like that.

Many thanks in advance
  1. A Kobo Libra 2 is not a Kindle
  2. The Libra 2 has an English dictionary
  3. The Libra 2 is a similar size with the same screen size as the Oasis but it's using a better screen

As for Kindle's having the best dictionary, that is no longer true. Kobo's dictionaries are every bit as good and maybe better (more words).
