Favorite iBooks Feature: Dictionary!

[NebulaClash]

Remember when you were a kid and you were told that when you read a word you didn't know you should look it up in the dictionary? Yeah, I never followed that advice either

But I'm using it like crazy in iBooks. It's so easy, you check on words you know but want to see why the author is using it that way.

And I find myself wishing Apple would build this into the OS on a system-wide basis because I keep trying to look up words in Safari, etc. using the same method.

That would be great function. When you click and hold on a word, it gives you the option to copy, would be great to also have the option to look it up or even google it.

Command+CTRL+D in any cocoa application will bring up the dictionary on any selected word.

I was thinking along the lines of being able to do it on the iPad.

Great, except we're in the iPad forum.
