I have always been irritated at Amazon's pdf viewer for its inability to turn off margins and the stupid progress bar occupying precious screen's real estate. Now I use kindlepdfviewer 100% of the time.
The only feature I miss sometimes is an ability to quickly look up a word in a dictionary. The Kindle's pdf reader shows a pop-up with short translation for a word next to its cursor and pressing "enter" button switches to the full dictionary. Would it be possible to add similar functionality to the kindlepdfviewer? The pop-up is not necessary, just showing the word in the dictionary and switching back to the book would be sufficient. I heard Duokan has something like that but it uses dictionaries in different format.

Crengine has dictionary look up feature, and we can now extract words from a pdf page (that's how we have highlight). So yes, dictionary look up feature is just out there, we just need time to combine these two
