As a result, you have almost all dictionaries free of cost and one of the users SirSteiner here on mobileread has created one from Wiktionary. I also have linked Wordnet 2.0 here.
I would respectfully disagree with you that this is "better" than decent commercial dictionaries on the Kindle, Sony, etc. Can you get "real" dictionaries like this? Oxford? Websters? Chambers? Collins?
