Yes - it's limited - but I do see a use for it. I have become addicted to using the dictionary on my Kindle while reading, and accessing Wikipedia. I read a lot of older literature (classics if you will), and it's helpful while reading Dickens for example to be able to instantly look up locations, older word usage, historical figures, etc.
So, if I am reading a pbook and encounter similar terms to be looked up, a device of this sort could be very useful so that I don't have to stop reading and use a laptop, cellphone, etc. Just type in the term. Might even be faster than getting Wikipedia up & running on a Kindle.
Klunky, limited, but could be a lot of fun for older non-tech readers or youngsters you don't want banging on your laptop.
Pricey for static content though.
