I must agree the dictionary is priceless. Especially for me since my native language is not English. Reading the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik I stumbled across words on every page I didn't know. The dictionary helped me through and I came out on the other end with a whole bunch of new words in my vocabulary.

One feature that would top it all off would be if the TTS could pronounce the word for you in the same moment you look it up in the dictionary.
