I have the same problem, namely a constant urge to look up things while reading paper books. My personal solution to that is to copy whatever sentence that triggers my urge to look up anything and then set aside time to do the look up later. I think the value it brings is that I won't be distracted into deep rabbit holes while finishing my book.

I'm not sure what's the end goal here though. It seems like you would like to look up things as soon as you encounter them, but on the same device (Kindle)? Then the benefit is not switching devices?

You can replace Wikipedia on your Kindle without modifying any firmware or software on the device. Here's how it works:

1. Host an API which conforms to the Wikipedia search and document conventions (this can be LLM-powered) 2. Modify your router's DNS settings specifically for your Kindle so that it resolves wikipedia.org to your API's CNAME or IP address 3. You can now use "Wikipedia" to perform arbitrary operations on highlighted text. As a bonus, you can manage your API from your Kindle's built-in browser (assuming you've built out a management UI)

So you are saying Kindle doesn't have end to end encryption.

That sounds like a good system.

Yeah I find my phone and laptop quite distracting, so I don't like keeping them around when reading, especially at night.

Another use case I didn't plan for originally but is pretty fun is doing all your Kindle reading in Kindllm by having it write essays on random topics for you.
