I love that my new reader has a dictionary built in. I rarely use it, but it's a really nice added feature. If there is a word I don't know, I'll usually discern it from context (so as not to interrupt the flow of the story), and then later look it up to see how correct (or not) I was.
I didn't know ha-ha (since I guess it wasn't a hearty guffaw in that context) or quintain. And I'm ok with that! No need to quickly tell you all the words I do know. My interests don't fall in areas that would encourage my knowledge of those two words, but I'm always open to learning.
