I voted no... I don't like to interrupt the flow of reading by looking up words unless I really can't work them out from context. In which case, there are a host of dictionaries online, and a couple sitting on my shelves, or the person sitting next to me to ask.

I guess the background question is what sort of reading you do on your e-book? Leisure, technical, reference, English as first language, second etc.? The requirements for people reading the classics is completely different from those reading modern fiction, academic literature and so on.

My impression is that people on this site are biased towards 'serious' reading (reference/ academic/ technical). Those who just want to read the current fiction bestsellers probably don't care enough to start discussing the intricacies of their e-reader on a forum.
