Dictionaries for what language? Both Kobo and Kindle have great English dictionaries built-in. I'd be surprised if PocketBook didn't have that also.
If you are reading in smaller languages, or heavily inflected ones, just get any Boox device that appeals to you, install Goldendict with the dictionaries you want and call it a day.

I too read only in Estonian and English; for my native language I don't need a dictionary and for English the Oxford dictionary used by Kobo and Kindle devices is decent enough. As to the quality of their other dictionaries, I have no idea.
"Decent dictionaries" is actually pretty vague; what dictionaries exactly and for what purpose? There are quite a few people here reading in foreign languages and I'm sure they could recommend something if they knew what exactly you needed.

The English dictionaries used by both Kobo and Kindle are great.
Otherwise my definition would be that it supports morphology, so that looking up a word in any of its forms would return the infinitive. "Reads" should show the entry for "to read". Not "3rd person singular present tense of 'to read'" (without any way to click on "to read" to get that definition). Or commonly for many languages "entry not found".
