It does make sense if you have a tiny device with a tiny display (or none at all), but why would anyone want to carry around a relatively large device with a great display and then use the device but not the display?
Consider for a moment those people learning English (as spoken in the US.) I remember the forign language lessons back in high school and how late at night when you are looking over the day's work how hard it was to hear in your mind the sound of some of the word forms. With this device you can see and hear the words of the novels, stories, blogs, and news.
