I think existing owners of iPhone or iPod touch would know this.
Hi - the apple store is giving more info about the ipad, and says a dictionary is built in: "Touch and hold any word to look it up in the built-in dictionary or Wikipedia, or to search for it throughout the book and on the web."

My sony 505 does not have this feature, so I'm looking forward to it on the iPad. The rest of the description of the ipad's ebook reader can be found at http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/ibooks.html
