I've been procrastinating making my custom dictionaries work since last Fall, and finally got around to it today. My dictionaries were sitting in .kobo/custom-dict with their original archive names. They never imported, so I followed your naming convention exactly and rebooted. Now I see the dictionaries listed as you describe, but they don't work. "No definition found. Try another dictionary". They're even listed in the "Manage dictionaries" page in Settings. I've examined the zip files and they're nested dicthtml.zip files with html docs inside. They don't seem corrupt. I can't see what I could be doing wrong. Got any suggestions?
You did do the reboot (power off/power on) as specified in the bolded instructions in your link, didn't you?

Which dictionary did you have selected when you took that screenshot? My copy of the Chambers1908 free English dictionary doesn't include the word brownstone so your screenshot isn't surprising, if that's the one you had selected.

However brownstone is included in both the default Kobo English and my copy of the custom free Websters1913 dictionary. See below.
