I guess I'll have to answer my own question. Apparently, all it takes is for the book to be in KEPUB rather than EPUB format. Calibre does that conversion with some plugins installed. The encoding doesn't matter, I got both UTF-8 and Shift_JIS encoded kepubs to open the dictionary.

The only problem is that it selects only a single kanji on a long press, and it's a total PITA to move the markers to select the whole word that you need.
