Hello & Thanks,
Is there a program (preferably in tpfc) that is like kindle in this way:
Click on any word in text and the program shows its definition.
Thanks

GoldenDict perhaps... you may want to enable "scan popup".
I recommend trying the latest Early Access builds.

tpfc's WordWeb also excels at providing apt words definitions
(and offers much more besides: synonyms, antonyms, near alphabetic words, similar words, types of, UK|US audio pronunciation...),
provided the word of interest is Image first. (merely clicking a word won't do).

You can setup a hotkey for a dictionary lookup in QTranslate as well, select word, press hotkey. That way you have both a translation and a dictionary tool at hand.
