Eh,

Amazon Kindle has really awesome feature where all ones has to do is select the word, and it gives the definition. This comes in handy when you are reading a hard book, or a book in another language (like Spanish).

But there is decent dictionary for Esperanto (the one that's there has bad reviews http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Esperanto-Diction...).

So I looked up how to make Amazon dictionaries, and found this
http://1manfactory.com/create-your-own-kindle-dict...

This tells us how to make a dictionary, and it is not that complicated.

So I say, why don't we all work together to format a dictionary, and release for free or a cheap price.
Eh?

Funny you should mention that; I had the idea quite a while ago. Read this post
There is a link in there somewhere for a dictionary that is much better to use. There is a couple of strange things going on with it, but it is the most usable dictionary that i have found. Bit of a shame that the link is so obscure.

As someone who is currently trying to read Hamlet in Esperanto, I am very much in favour of an improved dictionary.
