This becomes even more apparent when you switch between UK and US books.
I've got a few different dictionaries on mine and I swap out the "default dictionary" depending on what I am reading at the time. Although it is true that you can't highlight a phrase to look up, often if you highlight the key word in the phrase and open the dictionary you will see that phrase in one of the definitions.
