I think it might be nice to see the possibility to use other dictionaries as well.

However, bgpadron and benedict1, you can use a pop-up dictionary program like Lingoes, which I use, to look up words. I use it with French and Japanese and English. Usually you just use a key combo like 'ctrl' 'right click' to click on the word and bring up a definition. Unfortunately, Lingoes doesn't seem to capture E-book Viewer's text, but there's also the option of having Lingoes look up what's on the clipboard. So I just turn that setting on when I want to read. Then, when I want to look up a word, I just hit 'ctrl' 'c' and the definition pops up. (I turn the setting off when I'm finished because otherwise definitions are always popping up whenever I copy/paste something.)

Not sure if other dictionaries would work better, but there are some others such as StarDict and GoldenDict... Lingoes does work pretty well and has a wide variety of dictionaries available; it just needs a better text-capture function.
