EPWING dictionaries only exist where the publishers offer up electronic versions of their books (either in EPWING itself, or something an EPWING convertor understands).

I'd be willing to buy the books all over again if I could have them in EPWING. Publishers need to wake up to the 21st century and realize that not everyone wants to own several tons of thinly sliced tree that is time consuming to look something up in. People also don't want to use a different app for each dictionary, so shut up with the proprietary formats
You could probably get Tae Kim into EPWING with a bit of formatting & fiddling, but imo it wouldn't be worth it.
