I use my dictionary on the Kindle, and sometimes when I read a paperback I wish I had it with me. Apparently I'm a minority, but I really don't know every word in English regardless of it being my native language, and I'm perfectly ok with that. I'm not a word person. I'm a horrifying speller. I hate lit classes. But I love to read, and sometimes my love for reading doesn't jive with my particular knowledge/skill set. So having the option to look up the words I don't know helps keep my attention on what I'm reading, and not wondering what I missed.
