Do you mainly read books in your native language? In those I never use a dictionary either. But in foreign language, it really can be fun. But I find myself only using it, when it's more or less instantaneous. Usually, it's not that important to lookup a word, to (as a very negative example) close the actual book, start a dictionary (maybe even have to switch folders to reach it), manually enter the reference, close the dictionary, .....
That's where usually touchscreens come in handy. The Kindle modus is very efficient as well.
