Rikaitan, EPWING and MDX dictionaries
EPWING is a dictionary format that was allegedly utilized in portable electronic dictionaries. To view EPWINGs you need Qolibri, a dictionary viewer that lets you search multiple EPWING files at one time so for every word you look up you immediately get multiple definitions.
