All free and available right here at MR.com!
I just loaded the 1913 Dictionary. It is very nicely done. Two general comments: All the great hyperlinks to jump to the words are "blue", as hyperlinks always are. However, that makes them hard to read on the einks. Great on the computer, though.

Second, the "seach" feature I found in the index of the .prc file obviously does not work in the epub file index. On your file, though, your indexing is great so a search feature is not needed.

The 1913 dictionary is obviously larger than the GCIDE dictionary because it does take longer to access the pages. So be patient when selecting your hypelinked words.

All in all a good dictionary. Now there are at least two that work.

Does anyone else know of another copyright free one we can try?
