Not in the default reader app, nor in Coolreader. In both of those one first has to open the dictionary, then select the word. In Coolreader one can set a touch zone to open the dictionary, in the default app one can set one of the buttons to open the dictionary. Neither method is optimal. Kobo and Kindle have much better functionality in that regard. I don’t think anything beats the Kindle dictionary.
The Koreader app does allow immediate opening of the dictionary by long hold on a word. I have yet to find Koreader to be stable on my Pocketbook and have stopped using it (04.18 was the last release I found to be at all useable). Also, you cannot use the inbuilt dictionary but must find and install an alternative - the Koreader section of this site has all the info you need.
With Coolreader installed, I like my Touch HD but it is not perfect - I have yet to find the perfect e-reader.
