You can install a dictionary on the device, they are just stardict dictionary files...it's literally putting a file in a folder. They also have some available to download although mainly focused on Chinese/Russian.

It runs Android. You can just sync things through the cloud provider of your choice. Put the Dropbox, OneDrive, NextCloud etc. app on and just download it from there.

Most eReaders don't have upload by email just Kindles and that doesn't let you send a more recent better formats like KFX or AZW3, just ancient mobi. Ditto Bluetooth.

And guess what? At least with Android phones "Nearby Share" works too (although that may require setting up Google Play Store.

I thinks he is looking for a "kindle" and really should get a Kindle. I actually own a Kindle and a BOOX Nova 3, they are two different products, not interchangeable if you are picky about which is better at doing what. I would have a E-ink tablet, a Kindle and a iPad depending on the tasks.
Anything you’ve installed on the nova3 that you use?

Apart from Kindle, Firefox and safari books online reader?

I’ve found that 3rd party drawing apps don’t work well with the screen.

Yeah maybe. I use my Nova 2 as an everything eReader. Run the Kindle app for Kindle books, Kobo for kobo stuff, etc. Plus it will do things like Marvel Unlimited, Tachiyomi that readers from Amazon and Kobo won't.
I want a Kindle for DRM free epubs
