Can't recall about my Sony, but Kindle's default dictionary is the complete Oxford American. Move the cursor near the word and you get the two line pop-up, press the enter key and you get the complete entry like in the paper edition. I have gone off on many dictionary-reading tangents this way...thank goodness for the back button or I'd have forgotten what I was reading in the first place.
