The CyBook has excellent dictionary support, but unfortunately the user interface for dictionary lookup is a little clumsy. You have to:

- Press the "Menu" button.
- Scroll down 4 items on the menu and select "Lookup". This puts the device into "lookup" mode with a "word highlight" cursor on the screen.
- Use the nav control to move the highlight cursor up, down, left, right until the word you want to look up is highlighted.
- Press the "Enter" key to search for the word in the currently installed dictionary.

Compare that to "double tapping" the word on the Sony's touch screen and seeing the definition instantly.

The Gen3 method works, but you wouldn't want to use it to look up dozens of words on every page.
