I've also produced a Kobo dictionary that adds a complete Chaucer glossary, including all spelling variants, to the dictionary mentioned above; which I am finding is working perfectly, and making it much easier to read the Chaucer really fluently. But the glossary is copyrighted, so it'll be private-use unless the author gives me sharing permission (for which I'll ask).
