Rubbish... I read for relaxation and entertainment on my ereader wherever I am... I am NEVER so desperate for all the rest that I can't wait... typical case of modern short attention span... If I can't have it now then I'll cry or forget it... For look ups, well "breaking out a laptop" is your way of doing things... personally I have a computer permanently on with broadband access doing my work in the fore or background and I have a smartphone if I ever do get that desperate but my ereading is a way to escape all the "permanently connected" stuff so I can read in peace and quiet... just like many others here...
