I'm referring to another thread.

For novel reading it only comes into play if I can't remember who someone is etc. In a paper book it's very quick to flip back a few pages, on my Kindle I don't bother.

But mainly where I'd like to see things sped up is things like looking up a word in the dictionary, getting back to the home screen, opening books etc. The current Kindles are painfully slow to do anything like that. I often don't look up words as it just takes to long to click the line, hit look up, have it pop up, then hit back to go back to the text.
I don't have a Kindle. But if it's a pain to use a dictionary, then a dictionary that STARTS looking up words AS YOU TYPE could be an answer. That way you wouldn't have to type in the whole word.

Another way to look at it would be the way that Google auto-suggests words as you type.

It was just a suggestion as dmaul1114 seemed to not like the way it worked with the Kindle.
