Surely the vast, vast majority of words you'd actually want to look up 
aren't even in the dictionary?

Obviously I can't find an example now that I want one, but Thunderbird's 
dictionary is missing huge numbers of really quite common words - and it 
isn't even a real "dictionary", it's just a word list. Similarly, when I 
was at school I tried to look up "indefatigable" in the school's (paper) 
dictionary, and it didn't exist. What on Earth makes you think that an 
e-reader would have a more complete dictionary?
