I love the idea of being able to select a word and have a dictionary definition pop up. Currently, I use a paper dictionary at home when watching TV and hear words I don't understand (or have a disagreement with the wife). On the computer, I rightclick a word and have the option to lookup the definition (I think it is a Firefox plugin, might be standard, I just don't know!)
When reading, I am rarely at home so never get the chance to look something up at the time.
I have lived 33 years without a dictionary to hand when reading my books, I think I can survive another 33 years without one. If I did have the function to use one though, it would still be put to use!
