I've just dug up my Sony PRS-505 to read ebooks from gutenberg.org after it spent 10 years or more in a drawer. At times it's almost weird to think I can't click on a word to search Wikipedia for it; but OTOH it's somewhat relaxing to let go of the urge to know more.

I've got a newer Kindle, and long-pressing on a word opens up the local dictionary and/or if it has internet access, the wiki page. Great way to expand my vocabulary.
