Kindle has a good function. You can highlight some text and press "SPACE", then pops a textbox contain the text you highlighted, you can do many things for this text like Google, Dict etc.
But when I do this for a book in Chinese, the entire paragraph contain the highlighted text show in the pop up textbox. It seems kindle get the text by search the space, cause in Chinese there is no space in the paragraph.
I wounder if this "search space" design can be hacked? Just show the highlight text in the pop up textbox.
Anyone reply will be appreciated.

BTW, I use kindle 3 3.3
