I've used my mobipocket dictionary more often than I've used a paper dictionary... When I read a book, there are often words I've no idea what it means, exactly. And I usually guess what it should mean (depending on the context, and such). But, on my device, I just look it up... And that way I will increase the amount of words I know without having to find that paper dictionary (or having to remember what word to look up once I have access to a paper dictionary again).
