I've been missing the integrated dictionary that I got so used to on my PocketPC device, and have been loving having it in the Kindle... I find myself looking up a lot of words that I would have previously passed over without a thought... yesterday (or was it today... been home with a cold, the days have blended together) I looked up the word "dais"... perhaps I should have known it, but I didn't... anyhow, I was just now watching an old TV show from the 80s on Hulu while doing the dishes and heard the word... I was very happy that I knew what it meant! :-)

I'm curious... do others find themselves increasing their vocabulary due to the integrated dictionary?

Also... should I feel bad for not having known that word already? :-)
