(If it has to be an Oxford dictionary there should be some way or another to find a stardict formatted one and convert it to the Kobo format. But you would have to do that on your own as it's not perfectly legal.)
I now have the required dictionary in mobi format. I read somewhere on MR that it needs to be a zip file, so I left Calibre alone for 90 mins and it managed to convert the mobi to a zip, is this the same as the Kobo format you mention?
