+1. Depending on what I'm reading, I sometimes do wikipedia quite a bit when I'm reading on my K3. Works okay, but it's laborious using the K3 joystick to select the word or phrase that I'm interested in.

Just got my STR on Sunday and I'm really diggin' it, but it would be wonderful if B&N added "Wikipedia" (and "Find", but that's another discussion) as another option on the menu at the bottom of the screen after you've selected a word.

Related newbie question--can you select a phrase by touching the screen somehow, or can you only select single words?
