I highly recommend this dictionary (especially for non-native speakers) as the definitions are easy to understand and quite thorough. It's particularly nice in combination with the wonderful SOED posted here (for more in depth definitions) and Wiktionary (for more obscure/pop culture references).

If anyone is interested, let me know and I can post a link here.
Is that available anywhere in the kobo format?
