I really would like, but I can't. You seem to refer to monolingual dictionaries in your mother tongue but when reading a German book I almost never ever look up a word. What I look up quite regularly are "knowledge things" the book refers to like maps or biographies or historical articles...

I really need a dictionary on a reader but this is for reading books in English or Russian = in a foreign language. I use them in two ways. Sometimes I look up almost every unknown word and sometimes only when I can't get the meaning from the content.
