It is very rare that the English dictionary has the word I look up.

I can imagine that for someone learning the English language the dictionary is sufficient. But for English speakers (who we can presume [because they own an eBook reader] like to read and therefore have a larger vocabulary than non-readers), the English dictionary is of little help.
Can't you replace the dictionary? It sounds like you have 'small' dictionary. I think everyone, also non-English speakers, would benefit from an extended dictionary. At least for myself, I know that the words I tend to look up are mostly found in extended dictionaries
