I want to get the best possible dictionary for KOReader. Does anyone have the Oxford English Dictionary in a way that is usable by KOReader? Or does anyone know of a similar dictionary?

What about dictionaries in other languages? Any way to convert Kobo dictionaries to KOReader dictionaries?

    Best English dictionary in my opinion is Oxford Dictionary of English. This is default dictionary for Kobo ereader. I don’t know a lot about KOReader, but it seems it uses Stardict dictionary. I uploaded my own stardict convertion of ODoE on my brench(“Stardict_-_Oxford_Dictionary_of_English.zip” you need to unzip it). I hope it works (it should): https://gitlab.com/grilj.anze/e-reader-dictionaries-kobo-txt/-/tree/d83d17d2d006a13f0b406a6065cb04ae729d6153/

      Thank you!

      Can you also do this with other languages? The PT-PT (Portuguese, from Portugal) dictionary on Kobo is quite ok. I would love to have it available on KOReader.

              Hey there again! I tried the PT-PT dictionary and in terms of content, it is awesome. The formatting is a bit weird though. There is no formatting, everything is in the same phrase, different definitions in the same phrase gets annoying.

              Is there a way to style it? For example, a word “XYZ: 1 bla bla 2 bla2 bla2” would look much better like so:

              "XYZ:

              1. bla bla
              2. bla2 bla "

              Is this something that can be done on my end? I use KOReader.
