I have downloaded some French books onto my Kobo, but I need to see
if I can hack it enough to make the dictionary feature useful. At
present, the word lookup tends to say things like "paysans: plural
of paysan", and looking up and/or translating words is FAR too
painful to use when reading.

I've found that the dictionary that is included with a Kindle
excellent. I was given the choice of English UK or English US, but no
foreign dictionaries.

The UK English dictionary that is on a Kindle is very good.

You may find it useful - I wouldn't, and don't need to check.
I will ask my wife whether she ever bothers, but I doubt it, and
her vocabulary is a fraction of mine (though still large).
