My idea was to use it mostly as an stand alone electronic dictionary in cases when you have heard the word but don't know what it means. I used to have one on a Palm device but with Kindle being the main device now I no longer want to carry 2 devices with me. Kindle is enough and even better than Palm.

It could also be used by Japanese Kindle users who want to speak English but have forgotten the English word.

It could be made work as a pop-up dictionary for kanji/kana words as well but as it is mentioned elsewhere the problem with Kindle lookup is that it requires words separated by spaces. Japanese sentences are written without spaces so it will not work anyway. We will have to wait for Amazon developers to find a solution for this.
