With the Cybook, you use the keys to select a word from the text. With the Kindle, you use the scroll wheel to select the link and it gives you the definition of "significant" words on the line (skips words like "the" and "and").
Personally, I own a Kindle and I don't see how having it's extra conveniences detracts from what is its basic function: reading. Strip that stuff away and its functionality is pretty equivalent to the PRS. Now my smartphone is not a very good reader, but it is pretty well a master at being a PDA. It's more a "jack of all trades, master of one." situation.
