Is there a way I can link in a French-English Dictionary to iBooks so I can get an English definition for a French word when I press on it? The dictionary options I have found only give me a definition in the same language as the word.

No, Apple does not provide the kind of dictionary you want, and there is no way for users to add any so that they will work that way. But you can ask for it at

There may be other ebook reader apps (e.g. Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, Sony) which have this kind of feature, but you would have to check them yourself.
