Fictionary introduces books-specific dictionary for e-books

Big epics and any other book will sometimes have different meanings for words. And Fictionary is here to help you decipher those. If you look up a word using Fictionary, it’ll show you the definition based on its meaning in a book. Example, you try and search for “the one ring” in The Lord of the Rings and it’ll give you a definition based on what that means in the J.R.R. Tolkien classic. It doesn’t support a lot of books at the moment but they will be useful for those that they do support.
