And I haven't been able to find any epub dictionary anywhere.
If dictionary support was integrated in the epub-standard, then I believe we would see a lot of all kind of dictionaries.

Try to search "dictionary" on the mobipocket side!

Oh, so you're not looking for a dictionary to be used with epub books you read, but actual epub dictionaries. Well, that's a different kettle of fish.

My Sony-reader can use its inbuilt dictionary when reading books in whatever format I am reading on it. I don't think I really need the dictionary itself to be in a particular format, as long as I can use it while reading whatever book i'm currently reading and can use it as a stand-alone dictionary (which I can).
