One thing I would love when reading is being able to "note" or mark words
to look up so I improve my dreadful vocabulary. Is there an "onboard"
dictionary available? and could you "pull" words and sentences to "review"
(homework) later?

I've tried doing this with "real" books and generally fail: Helen would
kill me if I took a pen or highlighter to a novel ;-) and dad would rotate
several times in the grave.

Cheers
