I have a really useful Japanese N5 level vocabulary list, but the kanji are just too small for me to read at this point, and in too fancy a font. I guess I should probably write down the kana and then Google for a readable kanji

Is it physically printed or a PDF or something? If you have readings, http://jisho.org is a good way to look up the kanji, and will definitely have N5-tier stuff.

I use Jisho and http://ejje.weblio.jp a lot. Jisho is run by English speakers; ejje (short for EN->JA/JA->EN) is intended for Japanese audiences, but that often means it does a better job conveying the meaning of a Japanese word. Also has a larger corpus of sentences.

ejje won't tell you the reading though, because if you're using it, you're Japanese and you already know it :p

Something that confuses and frustrates me is why dictionaries for English speaking Japanese language learners give the kanji meanings in English. Why not Japanese hiragana? Like the kanji for Japan, why does it say Japan and not にほん?

Japan has a *lot* of homophones Chinese dictionaries don't really let you look up words by their pinyin spelling either (or rather in an online dictionary this takes you immediately to a disambiguation page for the hanzi)
