If I'm reading a digital book and I come across a word I don't know, and not 100% sure if it's meaning with context clues I check the definition. In already "interrupted", it's only a click to highlight it.

I don't think it's much of an issue. People look up meanings to words all the time and it doesn't destroy people's enjoyment.

I then write them in a journal at a later point. But I don't make much effort to concertedly use them again.

It is different if you read a book on paper, yes it is easier on a screen. And I'll never say that my answer is the only ansawer, there are as many point of view as readers
