Thank you.
I have the Vision 3 HD - same weight and size as the 4. I find it really comfortable (I no longer use my Kobo H2O because I find the Tolino more comfortable to hold).

The available dictionaries are for German, English, Spanish, Dutch and Italian. I only use the English dictionary and it is fine - based on wiktionary.

The 4 has a newer, revised version of firmware (mainly to cater for the new light functions), but with a few other minor changes. I would describe the reading software as more basic than the Kobo, but perfectly fine with epubs. (It is poor with pdfs).

In use my Tolino has been very reliable (I was one of the unlucky ones who experienced too frequent corrupt database errors with my Kobo - which is why I got the Tolino, even though it is not officially supported in the UK).
