Instant word look-up (web browsing)

I was wondering if there's any way that the kindle can instantly look up a word in internet articles just as it would in regular ebooks.

Is there an app I could possibly download, a method I don't know about or a simple option that's already available on the kindle?

Thanks!

K3's browser is an "experimental" feature, it has limited (painful) functionality and it is not clear whether Amazon will improve it. I very much doubt that it will ever be possible to do what you're describing.

That would be a nice feature. There's no instant function to do this that I know of. You could type it, and then pick "search dictionary," but that's more trouble, obviously.
