I assume you mean something like this
All I did was highlight the word 'manuscript' (double click) in the PDF (opened in PDF xChange), and press
Ctrl+Shift+`, voila WordWeb popped up with a definition, the only customisation was to assign that particular key sequence as the WordWeb hotkey. I have another gadget (clickto) that will lookup the highlighted text on the Web (Google, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc, or even MobileRead)
If something similar can't be done on Android or iOS I'd be surprised, but if not get a Surface, its a walk in park with Windows.
One of my dislikes of Android (and iOS I would guess, were I to use it) is the difficulty of getting 'apps' to interoperate, walled gardens full of walled gardens, or as I prefer - nests of recursive arboreta.
