Creating Dictionary in Epub

I searched the site here, but did not find a direct answer to my question:

Is it possible to create a "dictionary" format in epub (for sony reader) with a look-up function (using i.e. wordsearch). It does not have to connect to documents or be used from inside a different book--it would "stand alone" as a reference book. I have several personal, homemade "in house-dictionaries" with unique language needed for projects and would like to have them in my reader for more convenient transportation.

I have read that mobi has a "dictionary" format that can be used. Is there something similar for epub or a work-around?

I have considered just saving them into "A6 format" pdfs (is that the correct size? from what I read it is) hyperlinking the letters (as chapters), but the idea of a usable search would just be too perfect.
Is there a better option? Has anyone done this? (the dual column is what throws me--formatting is important here) Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Ideas? Thank you for any information available.
