It only takes a few seconds no matter where the word is on the page.
It takes much longer time than a few seconds. I just measured the time to lookup a word in the middle of the page and it took 17 seconds to navigate top the word and 13 seconds to find the word (through) in the dictionary. So totally 30 seconds to look up a word.

Using my n810 it took me 15 seconds too look up the word including laying down the Cybook and taking up the n810.

So I am not happy at all with the time it take to lookup a word. I assume it is much faster in the Kindle.
