Hi,
As I am on Ubuntu 20.04, Linguae or Stardict tools are no more available. So I guess your script can't works in this situation.
I test Koreader on my PB632 with vivlio (french vendor of Pocketbook device), but it was terribly slow for some things (pinch to zoom for example takes many second to refresh display) and was not usable (may be linked to the vivlio FW ?).
I tried to convert a Stardict dictionary I have (Larousse Chambers eng-fra) with penelope, but I get a failure when it try to output xml file (it works with csv output), may be I missed an argument ?
Code:
penelope -d -i Larousse_Chambers_francais_anglais.zip -j stardict -f en -t fr -p xml -o Larousse_Chambers_francais_anglais.xml

Additionally, PyGlossary don't manage to write xdxf file, so I don't know what to do now.
So if anybody had an idea or could help me, it would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance and the hell of proprietary and undocumented file's formats…
