Word Wise generated words are generally not shown in the e-book Look Inside. However, Word Wise support is clearly indicated in the product description:

AFAIK, as of July, 2015, Word Wise is only supported by the Android Kindle app, PW1, PW2, PW3, Voyage and Basic Kindle models with the latest firmware and the latest Kindle Fire HD/HDX models.

IMHO, Word Wise is overrated, the definitions are obviously machine-generated and the tiny font, which can't be adjusted, makes it difficult to read definitions.
