OverDrive is another ebook service. Some libraries use it for lending too. It uses a very proprietary set of file formats.
If you want good dictionaries, you need to use commercial ones most of the time. Free ones are far from perfect most of the time, unfortunately.
This is something learnt from my Kindle DXG days. Now there's GoldenDict, you could buy good dictionaries and use it on Android devices (it provides a ColorDict-compatible API). GoldenDict for desktop is GPL, but proprietary in Android. Anyway, it's not expensive and does the job well.

But from a first check, it should be possible straight from the eraeder with "Overdrive" (no idea what that is, you pick my curiosity):

For the available Dutch dictionaries in stardict... (thanks Niveru but) nether the Dutch-English or Dutch-Dutch are enough complete for me. Maybe Dutch is to complicated for a valuable free dictionary. Otherwise stardict work great while reading with Onyx software I thing. |
