I have installed LBook software on my BeBook as there are some of the facilities I like. One of them is the Dictionary support using Coolreader to allow linked look-up of words within a book (I'm mainly using fb2 books). The problem is, however finding some usable Dictionaries. The mueller ones which came with the distro and which work are English-Russian and are of no use to me.

The instructions are to use standard Unix DICT format dictionaries with a .dict.dz and associated .index files. All the Dictionaries I have found have the .dict.dz file but have an associated .idx file rather than .index. Renaming the .idx as .index doesn't work and examining the formats of the two, using the mueller one as reference it is clear they follow a different format, with the .index ones being plain text.

Has anyone any ideas on either how to convert the .idx to a .index or where to find some more DICT dictionaries that already have a .index component or if it is possible to extract a .index from the .dict.dz. I have looked at Stardict which seems to have a large collection but they are the ones with the .idx files.
