Joy of improving one's English

Wanted to to share this unexpected benefit of the Kindle:

I'm from Israel, and English is a second language for me. I studied it mostly by reading books (my good old late Librarian fed me a science fiction book a day in my high-school days) and I thought my reading English was quite good.

Then I started reading on my DXG, and noticed that here and there were words I did not understand - say one or two per page.

Reading them in a (paper) book I would just skip over them, and not even notice them. But with the DXG's dictionary it's fun to look them up. Now I even highlight them so I can later recall them.
