Alternatively, are there ereaders which allow sideloading of dictionaries?

As BookCat mentions, the Kindle comes with the same dictionaries the Sonys had (have). The Tolinos use the quickdic dictionary format but I haven't found anything there that comes close to the Oxford Dictionary that the Sonys and Kindles use.

Here's a website with dictionary downloads for the Tolino (I think they work on Pocketbooks also, but I'm not sure.)
