Look it up
The Sony PRS-T1 you have all the knowledge at hand, and Google Search on Wikipedia, so you're shy to answer a pressing question, then this e-reader you an answer. In the vicinity of a WiFi connection, of course.
Is this done right (ease of selection, speed, good presentation of the results, convenience...) on any of the current e-readers? (Which?)

The Sony 950 has Wikipedia lookup. You highlight the word(s) and in the dictionary popup there is an icon to launch Wikipedia. Then from the Wikipedia page there is a "continue reading" option to take you back to your page in the book. It's quick and easy. I use this feature often.
What is lost in translation is whether there will be a separate Google Search icon. In other words, when you highlight words you can launch a Google webpage directly from the book rather than having to open the browser application separately. The Kindle can do both Wikipedia and Google Search from highlighted words in a book. The Sony 950 just does Wikipedia. The Sony Wikipedia lookup is faster than Kindle (requires fewer clicks / touches), but both methods are easy and work fine.
