DRM-free Mobipocket dictionaries work just fine on the Kindle.
The essential point here, though, is that book publishers CANNOT publish dictionaries for ePub devices, whereas they can - and do - publish Mobi/Kindle dictionaries. It's a restriction not just for the end-user, but for the publisher, too.
