kobo or kindle dictionaries convert to stardict
Is it possible to convert kobo and/or kindle dictionaries to stardict for use in koreader? There doesn't seem to be any monolingual options for major and historically relevant literary languages such as Italian and Castilian readily available in stardict format.

Hope anyone with more information or knowledge can chime in thank you

It's not possible to convert Kobo dictionaries that you get download from Kobo.

I do not know about Kindle dictionaries.

Thanks JSWolf, that's disappointing as the standard kobo dictionaries are quite comprehensive. Hoping someone else can elaborate further

The Kobo dictionaries have DRM that cannot be broken.

This is not correct, as I broke the DRM for Kobo's dictionaries. Below are previews of part of a decrypted dictionary HTML document. Nothing "cannot be broken;" it's just a matter of fortitude and skill.
