Thinking about buying a Kindle Voyage, question about the internet

I haven't used an eink ereader in a few years and have never had a Kindle; I still have my Sony 950 but it's lain by the wayside as I've used an iPad mini for reading. I'm looking at the Kindle Voyage 3G but want to know how the internet works on it while reading. I've viewed a youtube of the experimental browser so I have an idea of using the regular internet but I'm more interested in using it while reading for quick lookups. Specifically, is there any shortcut to select a word or words in a book and then jump to google or wikipedia? And if so, how well does it work?

While we're on the subject, rarely I might see the title of a piece of music in a book and want to hear how it sounds; ironically, the youtube video I watched didn't show how well or if youtube would work on the browser. Any experience with that?

By the way, I heard the rumour is a new version in November but I don't think I want to wait that long.
