What do you do when you encounter a word you don't know? Obviously you google it, but it interrupts your reading flow. So the reader either proceeds remaining ignorant for the sake of integrity, or they constantly interrupt the experience. Is there really any point to returning to a book post-read with the newfound vocabulary?

I press on the word, read the definition that appears, then continue reading the book.

>being this bothered by interruptions

it's likely that the word will appear again anyway so all in all a little trouble now will greatly help your understanding in the future

If you stop and google it you will eventually need to do it less often

Ill google it and screenshot the definition. I have an album of over 500 words that I periodically revisit and find myself forgetting less this way
