You can read my post about it here and use the link to give it a try. (I just unzipped the file and copied the contents to the "dict" folder on my Boyue, and it works great. Hopefully it will work the same for the Boox, but if not, maybe someone will post with more specific directions for your device.)

I hope this helps!

Edited to Add: Looking at my previous posts about my dictionary issues, I see that I actually had to create the "Dict" folder in the root of my Boyue, it wasn't already there. But creating it and copying the dictionary files, as mentioned above, made it work just fine with all the appropriate definition pop-ups while reading and looking up a word.
Excellent. Worked for me. Extracted the folder within the zip to /sdcard/dicts/

A massive improvement on the longman dictionary included with the n96ml.
