Most people read books starting at one end and proceeding through, a page at at time, until they reach the other end. If you want to find specific information, you use the search facility. The reason you need to "leaf through" a paper book is because that is the only form of search capability that it provides. If I come across a character called "Ivan" 500 pages into my eBook, and I can't remember when he last appeared in the story, I can simply search my book for all occurrences of the word "Ivan". Moreover, on my Kindle, because it indexes all its content, I can search ALL my books to mind ALL occurrences of the word "Ivan". Try doing that with your paper library!
As far as dictionaries go, most modern eBook readers have an excellent dictionary built it. Just tap or select a word and a dictionary definition pops up. Couldn't be easier.
I'm afraid that I can't, therefore, agree with your views.
