Some readers read in a 2nd language.
Some books use obscure words or usages.
A dictionary doesn't impact on a user who doesn't use it.
I was going to post again on this thread as I couldn't believe some of the postings since yesterday. However - this one pretty much sums things up nicely!

Having had my 350 a couple of weeks and not read the manual, I've only just found the double tap the word to open the dictionary. I hope they gave the tech who came up with the original idea for that a big bonus that year. So easy.
