Hi

I might not fully understand the e-ink technology and therefore I might be asking for too much. My ancient ebookman needed approximately 1 sec to open definition even if had 5-6 dictionaries installed. My IPAQ is even faster. I know I might be spoilt but I would hate waiting more than 2 sec for a definition. (I read fast - mainly in languages I am learning, I encounter new vocabulary frequently, so a quick lookup is a must for me).

Am I unrealistic in my expectations and should stick to my old PDA ?
I quite like the way kindle 2.0 handles a lookup - pop up window appears at the bottom of the screen, I kind of hope Amazon will introduce their reader s in Europe with English and other European dictionaries.

Regards

Bernard
