I agree. I answered yes because I
require one. I think if you're going to bring computing power and documents together, dictionary lookup and search are baseline features that you should include.
Yes, I can get up and grab my paper dictionary but part of the reason I'm spending hundreds of dollars on a device is to meaningfully improve my reading experience. I buy plenty of things I don't need. I don't even need an ebook reader. I may not need a built in dictionary but in my opinion, a reader without one is not worth my money.
