Also consider Librera: it was purposelly built for android, it is well mantained, it is free and it doesn't suck, which is a lot for an ereader application.

Thank you for your advice, I installed the Librera Android application without difficulty from the Playstore, on my new Android Pocketbook Inkpad Eo ereader, which works perfectly and quickly with large PDF searchable, files without any redistribution, from Archive .org while retaining the formatting of the publisher's book, with the possibility of zooming and where reading becomes a pleasure by its speed. However, I bought Moon+Reader, directly on the Playstore whose interface I prefer. On the other hand, I was unable to purchase the latest paid Android apk version 1.7.2 of GoldenDict, no email being sent to me to validate, while the free version 1.6.8 nevertheless worked. By searching on the internet, I discovered an improved independent version of GoldenDict, which works wonderfully, Free Mdict, whose references can be found on Github, and which does the same power-shell work in order to manage dictionaries: https ://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/issues/1604, the file name is GoldenDict.v.1.7.2.lic_sig.kill.apk
The only fault of the PocketBook Inkpad Eo is that its interface does not currently support the French language. So I had to choose a language other than French, in this case, Italian for convenience. For the Librera interface, I was able to use the French language, but not for Moon+Reader which required the system language. I installed almost 60 dictionaries in mainly Stardict format, all of which GoldenDict supported.
So I said goodbye to my previous Inkpad Lite reader with 500 Megabytes of RAM (for 4 Gigabytes for the EO), for which I was previously obliged to tinker the searchable PDF book files, with K2pdfopt or Abbyy FineReader, with often failures or slowness and also many bugs, even with Koreader. Being a computer ignoramus, I don't think I'm going to venture into installing Koreader on this new Android Pocketbook Eo reader, the couple Free Mdict (improved version of GoldenDict) and Moon+Reader meeting my needs: to read large books in searchable PDF format, including language manuals, with finger search of dictionaries.
Note that the default reading application of the Pocketbook Inkpad Eo reads large PDF files from Archive.org extremely slowly, which makes the dictionaries offered, such as Google Translate, Abbyy Lingvo, Fora Dictionary or Reverso context unusable in practice .
