Learning faster as you read

One of my biggest problems while reading an article is the encounter with new words, and looking them up takes time and also may break the line of thought that the article is trying to convey to me.


Today, I have discovered that with the NY Times this no longer is a problem.  While reading any article I can hi-light any word and a bubble with a question mark will show up - clicking on the bubble will prompt the NY Times to lookup the definition of the word.


This ads so much value to the NY Times as a well thought product as well as empowering their readers to become more avid readers.
