Seriousness Portable dictionary

Is there a product that can scan a word from a book and then gives the definition to it? I'm looking for something similar to the items found in the below link but the ones in the website translate texts and does other things.

A device that "scans" words in a book isn't familiar to me. But what I usually do with finding word definitions while I'm reading a book is similar to kindlekitten's. There's a Merriam-Webster app in my phone so I use that; typing the words and looking over the meaning that appears.

I wish for an ebook-reader with "synonym" features where you can double click the word and a synonym/word meaning appears.
