I takes around 30 seconds or more. It depend how many books you have in the same directory as the dictionaries. So I use it less than I would like since it takes so long time. I am hoping the txtr reader will be better in this respect. From videos it looks possible to implement fast word selection.

If I open the Mobipocket dictionary on my phone it takes the same time to look up a word there instead so as I see it dicitionary support is not necessary on the eInk reader if it takes 20 seconds to look up a word.
