You can do this on pretty much any device which supports MobiPocket. The benefit of Mobi is that you can choose from literally hundreds of dictionaries, but general-purpose ones and subject-specific ones, and some devices (such as the Gen3) allow you to have multiple dictionaries installed at once.
