I realize the Kindle is not a speed demon but often when I try to look up a word it takes so long that I lose interest in learning what it means and just infer from context. This along with sometimes herky/jerky highlighting (especially when trying to make multi page highlights) are my two biggest issues with koreader (though I can't help but love it versus the kindle native reading app :P).

Anyway, wondering if you found a dictionary that you found ultra rapid? I've tried wordnet, gnu, and 3-4 others that I don't remember. I've also turned fuzzy search off, and even tried saying "just 1 dictionary, don't search more than one".
