I love having dictionaries on my ereaders, and especially with my 350, I always find myself looking up an odd (or not-so-odd) word or two. My vocabulary is large compared to my peers, but I'm aware that I use some words inappropriately or in a very idiomatic, Australian English sense, so I find myself looking up words a lot to confirm context more than anything else.
Last word I looked up on my ereader? Fixing. A very simple word, yes, but I wasn't familiar with its use in the phrase 'fixing to go out', 'fixing to eat', which is apparently a common Southern US English construction.
