I guess it depends on habit but also ease of use. I often feel lazy picking up the paper dicitionary and looking for a world meaning, especially when I know the general meaning but not the exact one, and get by without the bother. But with devices like mine where all you need to do it highlight the world and just tap on it to get the EXACT meaning, I tend to look up many more words than I would if I have to leaf through the paper dictionary.
