Personally, I read digital copies now so that I don't have to stop to find the definition. On the Koreader application, it has a dictionary function which makes it really nice to read with.

Do you use a Kobo with Koreader installed?

I've been using a Kindle Paperwhite for a few years and while I love the screen, I've gotten tired of being tied to Amazon and have started looking at alternatives.

Not botanical, but I use KOReader on a Kobo Clara HD (the same screen as the Paperwhite, if I recall correctly), and am happy with it except for the arrangement; covers don't show, and sort-by-title didn't work last time I tried. It's currently by author, which would make sense if I knew enough author names along with their books. I'm sure there's a way to get these things working, I just haven't put the time in yet.
Sorry I can't help you there as I use an OLED screen on android to read in the dark. Can't you jailbreak it and install Koreader?
