I generally have my iPad within reach when reading and turn to dictionary.com when I need to look something up. The only time I use the Kindle on board dictionary is when I don't have Internet access

I fairly frequently look up mundane words as often there are nuances to meaning and I like to be certain. It's part of the entertainment of reading.

In the old days it was quite tedious. I remember reading Earthly Powers and having to drag a dictionary around with me. Glad those days are over.
