I think that it's a great tool, smart and well executed, I just don't think that it's bringing anything to the table that I personally need. If I encounter a word that I don't understand, I use a dictionary, and If I need to wiki something, I use a browser. Either in Koreader or on a phone. I'm not a fan of x-ray features. That goes for both WordDumb or official Kindle x-ray. They've managed to spoil stories in a few cases that I've used them.
