All the significant commercial MOBI dictionaries have DRM. Also, the only software that currently supports MOBI dictionaries are MobiPocket's own Readers, which are precisely what can't be installed on the device if they have other DRM support. Perhaps iRex can find a loophole, but Bookeen has (optionally) switched from MOBI to ePub and has lost dictionary support, and indeed all MOBI support, in the process.
