Kindle users could use the WordDumb Calibre plugin to generate XRay files.
It shouldn't be too complicated to modify the plugin to generate endnotes with character definitions and link the definition to the first occurrence of a character.
It also wouldn't be too difficult to generate a StarDict dictionary with the same information for EPUB apps.
