Yes, that is the procedure for a book that is under copyright.

By far the most likely reason that a large book, such as a dictionary, will fail to convert is that a 32-bit release of calibre is being used and is running out of memory. (The reason for failure will be Memory Error.) Installing 64-bit calibre will fix that sort of problem.

I do wonder how useful a dictionary converted to PDF will be. The lookup functionality built into the Kindle will not carry over. And simply searching for words within the PDF may not work if they are broken up in to syllables in the dictionary presentation.
