Well, there are PD dictionary files aplenty on the net. Like here:
http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/
And the 1913 Websters is available all over:
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/673
It's useful for those older out-of-copyright ebooks.
What to do with those files will depend on your reader platform and the tools they offer. As mentioned, the Pocketbook line supports multiple simultaneous dictionaries and it offers a conversion tool that can handle xdxf format among other inputs. (I have several dozen installed on my PB360.)
Worst case scenario, you can open the gutenberg text file as an ebook (or convert it to ePub or PRC) and use your search function. It means switching from one book to another but it'll get you through it if your reader doesn't support dictionaries as such.
