Likewise - I can't read without having the dictionary look-up. I don't see this as an interruption to my reading, but an enhancement.

Plus I read a lot of historical "classic" literature so that my reading on a dedicated ereader is often interrupted by my having to stop & look up something on Wikipedia or Google - Victorian British slang, a painting mentioned in conversation, older geographical names, etc. The Kindle Fire is small enough that I keep it with me even if I am reading on my Kindle3 - so I can rapidly look up references - in color! Without having to leave the page I'm reading!
