I have 70 free dictionary in Mobipocket format (DRM-free of course), mostly Oxford and Vox, such as the Oxford Advance Learner Dictionary. You can't find any of them in ePub format. I can use them in any device that support mobi dictionaries. I'm not tied only to Amazon Kindle and apps.
With ePub I don't have even the option of being tied.
