Honestly I'm kinda surprised about any issue's with Slavic languages, Isn't Pocketbook originally founded in Ukraine?

It's just an Android dictionary app (it seems like they also have an ancient Linux program):

http://goldendict.org/download.php (Linux version)
On the Russian forums of 4pda.ru they also provide modified versions that work slightly better on e-ink.
Yes, Pocketbook was started in Ukraine, but is now based in Switzerland, as far as I know. Still, this doesn't seem to have helped
And this whole business with Kindle, Kobo and Pocketbook all using their own (proprietary) standard all but guarantees that the situation will not be resolved - there's not enough will and/or manpower to rework these dictionaries into a myriad of formats to work on all platforms. It would be better if they just incorporated some existing (open) standard.
The best thing would be for Koreader to incorporate hunspell support. That would instantly solve all dictionary needs on all of these platforms (excluding newer Kindles).
