Nowadays there are a lot of options to choose a way in every aspect. For example, to look up some words, we can use both paper-based dictionary and electronic dictionary(or website).
As studying helper, either of them let us find words we don’t understand. And the basic function can be regarded as same—pronunciation, meaning, example sentences, and so on—.
When using electronic dictionary(book dictionary), we can find a word more easy and fast. However, in paper dictionary, we need relatively more patient to find word. Moreover, concerning time to find the same word, it may take same time. In electronic dictionary, from some utility functions such as favorite word bookmarks or word history, it is clear that electric dictionary is more convenient.
However, there are some limitation in using electronic dictionary. We can’t bring computer everywhere, every time. Even the size of laptop has been getting smaller though, it’ still burden to bring. And the most important problem is how to supply batteries. Recent capacity of battery has improved owing to technology, but suppose you study more than twelve hours in a certain place with out extra battery supplying.

That's true. A good old fashioned dictionary may be heavy but it won't fail you. All of the electric dictionaries and my age, I wouldn't know where to begin in order to find the right one. In the end probably frugality would win out. Borrowing a dictionary or using a free source whenever possible.
