The dictionary on the nook is nearly completely useless. It's microscopic (I think only 20,000 or so entries compared to the 250,000 on the Kindle) and is horrendously slow to use. With the Kindle you just flick the 5-way nav button to the word [which you can do quite quickly] and the definition shows up right away at the bottom of the screen [and hitting enter will show you the 'full' definition if necessary]. On the nook, you have to wake up the lcd screen (which takes a second), scroll to the lookup choice on the lcd (with the laggy scroll gesture), pick lookup, use the on-screen 4-way nav buttons to highlight the word [slloowwwwwlllyy since you can't really click ahead] - then tell it to look up the definition... wait while it tells you its looking up, then clears the entire screen to tell you.... that the word wasn't found... rinse wash repeat.
It's a complete joke of a feature. I was floored by how bad it was - that and searching on the nook [don't get me started on searching...]
