I am not sure whether this is helpful. Nevertheless, I post the beginning of the list of the content of the Italian dictionary that my Desktop application downloaded yesterday (Saturday night). Its size is 13.680.662. The html files are gzipped, the content is in plain text. The format is nothing special. But look at the file names!
After reading that ShellShock's Italian dictionary is encrypted, I tried to download the Italian dictionary again via the desktop application. The application reported for a long time that it is downloading dictionaries, but actually no dictionary was downloaded; even after I repeated the process nothing changed. An inspection of the traffic showed however, that the application sent a GET /ereader/dictionaries/dicthtml-it.zip ... Host: download.kobobooks.com. I downloaded the file via the web browser. Its size is 11.206.504, it is encrypted. I guess this is the same as ShellShock's. Or maybe it is not? Note that the filestamps of the htmls of my Sunday Italian dictionary are older than those of my Saturday Italian dictionary.
Another question: Did somebody try to adjust the database entries of Size and LastModified in accordance with the values of a custom dictionary?
