[Edit] Tested out the dictionary and it seems to work well enough, although it is a two step process. First, you have to hold your finger on a word for a beat or two, then when you lift it off it will show you some options, one of which is the dictionary. Only once you tap that does it give you the definition. Not sure if this is how it works on other readers, but on compared to the Kobo and the Nook it is an extra step.
Searching within the book also seems pretty quick, although as I said I've never used this function on other readers so I have nothing to compare it to. Using it here though, I wouldn't have any issues with the speed.
It seems like functions within a book seem to work pretty quickly, as does switching between books after the initial open. From what I can tell it is things like going into the settings, changing options, etc. that really seem to be on te slower side. Since these are areas I don't find myself adjusting too often (other than turning the frontlight on and off), I really don't notice it in regular use.
