I'll try tomorrow with the other suggestion posted. Thanks again.
PocketBook needs a special kind of .dic file.
.dic file must be created specifically for PocketBook (and is even different for different models!) and the process non-trivial. There is application for Windows that lets you create PocketBook dictionary format from stardict dictionaries. For non-English dictionaries you have to write several files, such as "morphems" list, that are very poorly documented. In Russian.
