Being unable to access the dictionary from a book is a secondary effect of disabling the touch screen, which as you point out also disables highlighting. The advice to save power by disabling the dictionary is invalid (and silly) and does not merit entry in a list of power saving measures.

Correct. It is a secondary effect. It is pretty much not saving any battery at all. It is as useful as disabling access to the aA menu - cannot open menu to change fonts, hence it saves energy by not having to screen refresh and draw the menu.
Hey, it wasn't my idea, just trying to think my way out of someone elses paper bag. No offence prodigit, but disabling unused software features that only cost processing time and screen time when used is not going to do anything. Not sure how others handle dictionaries, but on a Kindle the dictionary is not being indexed - so downloading it is the only drain on the battery it is causing.
