That's three stylus actions. As I say, it works very well indeed.

What does one have to do on the Kindle?
Move the joystick to the workd and wait 1/4 of second. You will see the defintion at bottom of the screen. Moving with joysitck is very fast because you can start from top or from bottom, and if it goes out from right goes in into left and viceversa. Showing the word definition does not disturb text reading.

Basically, move de cursor and you will get the definition. Press central button and you will start to mark a text. Start typing in keyboard and you will get a comment. I think it won't be easier.
