Is it possible that a custom dictionary could cause my kindle/kobo to stop working?

I've had this happen twice now and seems more than a little unlucky considering how well I look after my devices - first with my Kobo Glo and now my Kindle, both have become stuck after using a custom dictionary for a few months, same dictionary on both devices.

I first noticed the Kobo acting up after I installed the custom dictionary on it, then about four weeks after that it got stuck and I've never been able to fix it.

So I switched to my Kindle, installed my books and then the custom dictionary and it began acting up in the same way as the Kobo for a few months. Before I could remove things, it has locked up. Was charging it last night until green light came on, left it overnight and now it seems bricked too. Only orange light when charging now even though was fully charged last night and if I hold and press the on/off button while it's plugged into charger, orange light goes off after about fifteen seconds but nothing else happens.

Could a custom dictionary brick a device?
