People used to dictionary lookup in MobiPocket on a Palm for example will be extremely fooled by claims of it taking only a few seconds.
Exactly my point, it takes about 20 seconds to look up a word, but because you are constantly bussy (opening the menu, moving the cursor around, choosing the right word) it looks only a few seconds. While booting takes the same time but looks much longer because all you can do while booting is wait........
On the other hand I fore sure can't look up a word in a paper dictionary within 20 seconds. Certainly not when you count the time putting away the book you read and taking the dictionary in your hands into account..
