Hmmm, never heard of this Amazon android application.

Well I'd say there was always a need for word lookup. So good that finally it is added. But bad that is only for 3.0 so only tablets will be able to make the optimum use of it. But I think it will soon be integrated in some form with Android 2.2 as well. May be something like a cache of commonly searched words that are present in the current page of the article. Well we can just wait to see.

I hope there is some integration into the 2.2 operating system, as well. If this is real, I am glad they are doing it, because word look up is something I would need from time to time. The Kimble app as it is works great, but this would certainly be a welcome feature!

I'm more of an e-book person. I don't read much of newspapers or magazines on the counter, let alone readable materials online. I'm happy for this app; but it's not an added value for me.
