Kobo Vs Nook: dictionaries, openness

cpina · 12-01-2012, 07:43 PM

Hi,

I'm quite sure that I'll buy either a Kobo Glo or a Nook Simple Touch GlowLight eReader.

Three questions:

Bilingual dictionaries: do Kobo and Nook offer an easy to access English to Spanish dictionary? (translate selected words)
Openness: I really appreciate things like: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo...y_should_be.3F (github code), or http://blog.ringerc.id.au/2011/01/ko...i-hacking.html . Which one is more "open" in terms of what can you do in the device, or jailbreaking easier?
Seems that Kobo store books can be installed in Nook. But not the other way round. Seems that Kobo is a bit more open? Or not really?

Thanks!
