I also have some other desires (ability to hyperlink outside the .epub, ability to access notes without opening epub) but the dictionary is the biggie.
I use Calibre and read only epubs. None of my epubs have DRM, except library books. I'll probably use CC, but that's not as vital as the dictionary.
Does anyone have any recommendations or references to somewhere I can find out about this stuff?

I don't know whether there is any ePub-reader app that will provide a direct link to Merriam-Webster or OED. But if you can settle for Wordnet dictionary (by Princeton University), you can download ColorDict for free. Then use Moon+ (free app) or Moon+ Pro as your reader app. It will allow you to access ColorDict directly when you press and hold on any word.
Why don't you try Wordnet dict online first and see if you like it? Here is the web link
