Is it more like 10 seconds or 2 minutes ? I guess it has to establish a wifi connection if it's not already connected, so I fear the whole process is pretty long.

I just tested this for you. I set the wi-fi switch to on, and clicked the wikipedia link in a word I'd double-tapped. It took about 10 seconds for the reader to connect to the network and then less than 5 to bring up the wikipedia page, so about 15 seconds total. When already connected to the network it takes less than 5 seconds to load the wikipedia page. To go back to the book, you just press the options button, then tap "continue reading." This was on my home network, which the 950 has no problem connecting to. In fact, I have not ever had a problem connecting to a network, even if it needs a log-in. The wi-fi antenna in my 950 is more sensitive than the one in my laptop.
It is worth noting that the browser does not work in landscape. If you're reading in landscape and go to wikipedia, it will reorient to portrait and this reorientation will be kept when you go back to the book. It's not a big deal to change it back to landscape, but it could get annoying if you do it really frequently.
I like the browser. It's no iPad of course, very utilitarian, but it does the job and more quickly than I would have expected before I got it. My only annoyances are that it doesn't have tabbed browsing, and it doesn't do landscape.
