Open the Oxford American Dictionary which comes with the Kindle Fire. Tap in the center and then tap the magnifying glass at the bottom.

Type in the requested word using the virtual keyboard. All occurrances of that word appear IMMEDIATELY.

Tap on one of those occurrances. Then use a long tap on that word and the definition appears IMMEDIATELY.
