Yes, Koreader supports stardict. It doesn't have inflection/morphology support, though, which means that searching for Spanish "hablábamos" doesn't necessarily show the infinitive form "hablar". It has fuzzy search, but it's not very accurate with conjugated forms. And it's even worse for Russian.

This is all intended behaviour and the devs are not interested in adding morphology (e.g. hunspell dictionary) support.

What languages do you read in, then? Are they similar to English in that they lack very complex morphology?
Pocketbook native dictionary software does have support for handling morphology, but it is up to each dictionary producer to include the proper rules. That is no easy task for most languages, so few dictionaries actually have that information included in them.
