But the vast majority of information in the world is still in printed form, so I'm looking for some way to quickly look up things that are in physical media. Thanks カート.

AMAZING. Also, if you have a Nintendo DS, there is a fantastic (and outrageously cheap) dictionary for it called Kanji sonomama rakubiki jiten. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-49-en-70-198v.html if you already have a DS and want to get a fantastic starter dictionary (that you use the stylus to write the kanji you want to learn) this is a steal at like $49-ish USD @Joe
