Wordnik is the hip, cool, open dictionary project on the Internet.

New York times Article.

Two TED Talks by its founder, Erin McKean.

I am not a lawyer, and I am not versed in US IP law. Their ToS ( https://www.wordnik.com/terms ) look confusing to me --- there are contradictory passages and it is not clear to me what license applies to the contents (if any at all).

Clearly, if you can retrieve/scrape (again, is this allowed by their ToS?) their contents, just save them as a CSV or XML file, then you can use Penelope to convert this file to the Kobo format.

@AlPe, I'm just reaching out because I'm curious if, perhaps do you have any update on this one? Alternatively, what can I do to help you to make this happen?

What can I do; I'm bored with bilingual dictionaries.

Thanks; I appreciate your work!
