Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy my first eReader. My primary goal is to use it for learning English (it’s not my native language), so there are a few specific features I’m looking for. Here’s what I have in mind:

Excellent dictionary and translation support:

Must work offline.
Capable of handling singular, plural, adverbs, idioms, and phrasal verbs.
It must provide both a translation into my native language AND a definition in English for every word or phrase. Both features are equally important for my learning process.
A smooth and intuitive translation experience is essential.

Highlight export feature:

I’d like to create flashcards later, so the eReader should allow me to export my highlights in a simple format (like .txt).
I don’t mind using scripts or additional tools for this, as long as it’s possible.

Device performance:

The device should be fluid and responsive, as I want an enjoyable reading experience without lag.

Screen size:

I’m open to either a 6” or 7” screen.

Budget:

My budget is €150-200.

I’d really appreciate any advice, thanks in advance for your help!
