It would be pretty arrogant and unrealistic to believe that one knows the complete, accurate meaning of every possible word (in every possible sense) every possible writer might use in a book, even restricting the field to correctly used words in the one's native language and period.
A dictionary might not be essential, but it can be very useful if it's available and easy to use. When reading a paper book I rarely use a dictionary because it's not convenient, but in an ebook it's completely different.
