I love my dictionary function. It's just so easy to tap-tap something and get more information on a word. Yeah, I can figure it out more or less from context. I don't NEED it, and got along just fine without keeping a dictionary at my elbow, lo these many years. But it's nice to flesh out the details from time to time.
I've been reading a pBook recently from my Grandmother's collection of old Science fiction, the second annual Nebula award winners. Great stuff. Several times, though, I find myself fighting the urge to "tap-tap" on the damn book. Not enough curiosity to get off my butt and look the word up in my pDictionary, mind you, but I sure would've if I were reading on my Touch. I'm very rarely moved to look stuff up in a print dictionary outside of word game challenges, but I use the heck out of my Touch's dictionary.....
