No. I don't use the dictionary on my Kindle. I've never missed it on my reMarkable. Not while reading and definitely not while writing.

- kstrauser 1y agoHuh. Everyone’s workflows are different. I surely wouldn’t want to be without one.
- esseph 1y agoIt may be once every 2-3 years, if that, when I pull out a dictionary. Never something I seem to need.
- kstrauser 1y agoIt’s bursty for me, too. I won’t use one for ages, then I read something like Infinite Jest where I’m looking something up every other page. That’s super easy on Kobo readers and I’d hate not having it elsewhere.
- esseph 1y agoI'd just use my phone, honestly. It's in my pocket and has access to much of the worlds information.
- kstrauser 1y agoAnd now I'm reading/writing with 2 devices. Eh.
- esseph 1y agoYou're already carrying that device though, it's not an addition to your pocket. In fact, I'd argue the 2nd device is actually a problem.
- squigz 1y agoNo, you are. Not everyone reads when they have their phone on them, or otherwise have their phone on them 24/7. When I'm reading, my phone is at least on a table, if not in another room.
- esseph 1y agoAh, that's fair! I guess I consider a device like that, for me, to be mostly used when traveling!
