I believe Kobo (and Nook) both use the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (for English). (At least my Nook Simple Touch and Kobo Touch use it.) But, unlike the Nook, the Kobo doesn't give you synonyms or word origins. So the NST is more complete.

Kindle Store has quite a number of dictionaries that you can purchase that function as lookup and translation dictionaries, if the ones that come with Kindle seem insufficient. I don’t think that is an option with either Nook or Kobo ecosystems.

I have Kobo Aura One from the beginning, it works perfectly, but I ordered KP4 because 6 inch is the perfect size for mobile reading in the bathtub and at the beach. Dreaming of a 4 ich waterproof ereader...

Ah, I was talking about Overdrive library books. Since I read on Kobo, Kindle, and Nook, all my ebook organization is done in calibre. All I can say about collection management on an ereader is that the original Nook was horrible! Since then, I haven't really paid attention. Good to know that Kobo does it well if I ever wanted to.

Pretty expensive for such a budget model without a memory card and all the hassle it takes to put the books outside of the market.

It is only a hassle if there is DRM. Loading the free Tor.com ebookclub books or books from sites that have DRM-free mobis is pretty easy.

Just curious, what exactly make it a "budget model"? It has waterproofing, bluetooth and now a range of storage options (SD cards are history everywhere it seems). Unless "budget model" simply means "6-inch model" I'd say it's actually a premium 6-inch reader, and I'm a Kobo Clara user.
