Sometimes the definition of the word would be more than one page. And I couldn't do much about it.

Now when I look up a word, I can go the next page, and the next page, even on to different entries from with-in the little dictionary window pop-up. Couldn't do that before.

So have I made any sense here? Sorry, it's early!
That's strange...I have had that function since I got the gadget on Nov 21. It was there in the original firmware for me. Except I don't believe I have the 'pop-up window' you described.

I've read that for some reason the first batch of Kindles have not been updated yet.

Somebody sent me this in email:

'I’m sure Amazon is releasing the update in a “test” market. I know very few folks that received their Kindles in the first batch who have been contacted. I think this is for a reason. Perhaps it is because the firmware from later builds has been having issues, i.e battery, indexing and the like.'

Don't know if that's true or blowing smoke. I do know that I've bought 4 Kindles in my account and have yet to receive the update email.
