A Tiny E Reader
I skimmed through Livio web-site and it seems like it's just a repacked wiktionary?
On my e-book I use KOReader and I uploaded dictionaries of my personal choice on it. When I see a new word, I hold a finger for a bit longer than usual and KOReader opens a modal window with a definition from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. It took some time to find a DRM-free version and convert it into StarDict format but I've done it so I can share you only need to use this Python script: https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary. I'm sure there's already a wiktionary stardict on the web and you won't need pyglossary.
KOReader can be installed on many popular e-readers, including jailbroken Kindles (this usually takes 10 minutes to do depending on Amazon mood).

Has anyone found a better dictionary for kindle?
There is a nice database of some greek dictionaries here, all well formated for the goldendict dictionary program. Unfortunatly, .mobi files are not included in the releases, but if you are tech-savvy enough, PyGlossary should be able to convert them into hopefully usable files.

Favourite mods?
If you have (legal) access to it, then it is also possible to load the entire OED 2nd edition. But if you find a copy which comes in two parts then you may need to play with pyglossary and dictutil to convert to Kobo's .df format and merge them before sending to your device. Some technical competence helps here. I'll say that pyglossary wanted to spit out many, many warnings about unexpected elements, but I was able to suppress them with the -v1 verbosity level option and it doesn't seem to have affected the output (though I didn't examine it very closely beyond just a couple sanity check lookups on my device).

I need English-Russian dictonary
I think your best bet would be to find an English-Russian dictionary in another format and convert it yourself. The conversion program I know of is Pyglossary. It can convert from many formats.

Application for learning foreign language. Voracious.
Allow more languages. (shot in the dark. I know the app is for japanese, but the idea would be nice with other languages if it supported other dictionaries. Say, some format from here, maybe... https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary. )

Adding Chinese dictionary?
Bascially the way to do it is to use a dictionary converter tool to convert from an existing dictionary. PyGlossary is the tool I used.

Are there any Korean dictionaries for Yomichan?
Looking at your link, there seems to be a .db dictionary called DigitalNK. Do you know what this is? Is it N-Grams? https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary/blob/master/doc/p/digitalnk.md
