I've had my Kindle since the beginning of December.

Highlighting I use all the time. Just used it a few minutes ago.

I occasionally add notes, often to summarize what I highlight, less frequently on its own.

I use the dictionary feature, oh, maybe once or twice a week on average. It all depends on what I am reading. The weekly count would be highly skewed, but I still find it worthwhile.

For Wikipedia, again, it depends on reading material. If I am doing Biblical study I will use it to get historical background on ancient cities, sites, people, etc. I have also used it when reading a newspaper if a particular company or product jumps out at me and I desire more background. I would say I use that function less than once a week, maybe once every two weeks.

The one thing that I use less frequently now than in the beginning is the experimental web browser. Part of this is due to the fact that Feedbooks has created those personalized newspaper feeds directly to the Kindle, so I no longer bother to check blogs and such via the browser. I just have my Feedbook paper transmit the RSS feeds to me directly.

I use the mp3 player a lot when reading to drown out background noise. I am very susceptible to being distracted audibly. A TV in the room where I am trying to read is madness for me, so I love to use the mp3 function for some good reading music.
