BookZ 2.x is a free upgrade to all existing users. It comes with support for StarDict dictionaries. Better still, it’s possible to look up multiple dictionaries simulatenously.
In Utilities, a new button called “Download a Dictionary” is added. Step-by-step tutorials on how to download dictionaries can be found here.
There is also a new item in Preferences, namely “Manage Dictionaries” which allows enabling/reordering/removing of dictionaries.
When reading with BookZ 2.0, you’ll notice a new icon “Az”. Tap it and a dictionary will pop up, allowing you to look up any word.
With the new dictionary feature, reading foreign books will be a great pleasure!

So I’d need to type the word in to translate, not just tapping on it in the text (like eReader does)?
Damn, that was so close.

Thanks for your suggestion–the feature you mentioned is being worked on : )
