My favorite feature in my Kindle is the capability to show the definition of a word if the reader taps on it.

On the other hand, words become a lot more abstract in definition as you move on to "adult" books, especially if you read classics from the 1800's for instance. It's kind of strange, but a lot of the words I use in my own writing I have to check the definition of it because I have an idea of what it means, but can't really define it myself. So I double check just to make sure I'm using it correctly, and most times I am, thankfully, and that's all due to the vocab I learned from reading old books.

The correct use of common language with little new things is a good formula for learning and teaching.
