Light,simple and with dictionary - All recommendations welcome!

My mother inherited my first ebook reader, the Cybook Gen3, and she has been quite happy with it. But now, after a freeze too many, I think it's time to get her a new device.

It needs to be light, simple to use, and must have a dictionary (and hopefully a search function).

Though I'm very happy with my prs-600, due to the reflective screen and the relatively high weight, I don't think it would be the best device for her.
I'm looking at Bebook Neo and Pocketbook (360 probably) as my two main candidates.

As the dictionary is pretty important, I wanted to ask people who have these readers how satisfied they are with the way the dictionary works - I've seen some complaints about the Neo dictionary for example.

How about ease of use? How techy do you have to be to figure them out?

Whatever I order will have to be sent to either Greece or UK (or even better bought in-store), I wouldn't want to order from the USA.

So, any advice/opinion/recommendation will be greatly appreciated!
