Specially great for foreign readers.
OTOH, this and the fact that so many old classics are freely available downloads in the public domain may have the small side-effect that a new generation of authors begin writing akin to Lovecraft, with anachronic vocabulary. |

I've just been reading a book with a lot of endnotes on my K3. I have been very irritated as I tabbed to the note index to keep having definitions flashing up for every word.
The one time a dictionary might have been really useful to me was when I was reading a book with a lot of Scots words. But, of course, they weren't in the dictionary. |
