I have a kindle and a nook color and love them both. One feature I love on the kindle is the dictionary, but the nook color dictionary is terrible. Move the kindle cursor to a word and get a definition. Request a longer definition from the kindle and move the cursor in it to define words in the definition. But the nook color does not integrate the dictionary properly:
- half the definitions seem to be in terms of another form of the word (e.g., salivating in terms of saliva), which is normal for a dictionary, and not a problem because the root word is nearby,
- but the nook color dictionary does not allow:
- browsing adjacent dictionary entries,
- looking up words in the definition, or
- entering words to look up.
So the dictionary is much less useful than it should be. An industrious reader could look up the word with google or wikipedia, but I find that is too far from the book I'm reading to pursue in most cases. For that reason alone, I do not recommend the nook color for any reader who will want to make use of a dictionary.
