A couple of little questions

Hi all, I just have a couple of little questions which you techies can probably answer.

I have an Asus eee pad transformer, do I need anti virus on it? Also I can't find a keyboard dock for it anywhere, I'm not desperate for one but when our main computer was down I was using it all the time and found writing emails on the touch screen very hard.

Also, I have just got a Kindle 3, I see it has a built in dictionary, is there anyway of highlighting a word while reading and look it up in the dictionary without coming away from the book?

TIA

    some will say you need antivirus on an android tablet but if you are careful (ie you don't install apps that should be paid for, for free) then you will be fine.

    While you're reading your book, you can use the arrow keys on your kindle to move the cursor around the page. Move the cursor to the beginning of the word you want to look up, and the definition should appear at the top or bottom of the page.
