Collocation Dictionary
Hi folks!

My question is that there is any chance to make collocation (thesaurus) dictionary to e-readers (i.e.: glo hd) or that is not possible.
Thanks for answers!

I had to look up what collocation meant in language terms. And it doesn't seem to have anything to do with a thesaurus. So, I'm not sure what you are after.

But, the Kobo dictionary already supports collocations. The supplied English dictionary includes some, but I have no idea how many. Just occasionally I select two or three words and a definition pops up. One I do know is in the dictionary, is "buffalo soldier".

I mean, there is a word. and it put to in a coherent sentence.

OK, that's a better definition that what I quickly found. I have no idea if there is such a dictionary. Iif there is, and it can be converted to the appropriate format, it can be loaded and the Kobo dictionary support should find them. The current dictionaries probably don't have many, but as they support multiple word lookup, a dictionary of collocations should work.

Collocation dictionaries are a relatively recent development in language teaching, so I don't think there will be any around that are already in the public domain. A sufficiently large regular dictionary will serve the same purpose, of course, with the usage examples it provides.
