That is not the reality I remember. It was first after you had used the dictionary on the Gen3 you bagan to think it was useful. I am pretty sure that you had bought the Gen3 when you wrote:

Perhaps these are people who are not reading books in their own language? I don't know - like you, I never use a dictionary while reading.

I honesty can't recall when I last came across an English word whose meaning I didn't know. I would consider myself pretty "well read", and hence have an extensive vocabulary. Most "fancy" English words derive from Latin or Greek, and since I am a classical scholar who reads Latin and Greek for recreation, my knowledge of these languages often tells me immediately what a word I haven't met before means. For example, I recently came across the word "adjuvant". I hadn't seem this word before, but I saw straight away that it was derived from the Latin verb "adjuvo", which means "I help", hence knew that "adjuvant" meant "a helper".
