So in a purely theoretical sense I understand, but in a practical sense, for me at least, it is not something that makes sense to do at the time ... unless of course, the book is boring or it isn't the gripping type.

Did you or anyone, when lost in a good book, ever refer to a dictionary before the days of ebooks? If not, how did you cope?
No, I didn't used to use a dictionary with paper books, so it's an ability I've gained with ebooks. Easy access to a dictionary is one of the many benefits of ebooks.
