One of the things that I have found *amazingly* useful is the ability
to perform actions on the words/selection of words in iBooks on the
iPad. I haven't used the dictionary functionality much, but I have
used the hell out of the "look up on Wikipedia" option.
So what do you think about a "Lookup..." option? Upon clicking, the
user can make a choice between the standard Ubuntu dictionary
application, Google, or Wikipedia.
