Could you check this paragraph about "dictionaries?"

Who says that?

Ah, the textbook I have :-(. It's a translation excercise from Japanese into English.

I think the last sentence should be, ignoring the Japanese version, like this: However, some people say you can also learn a lot of things not just by consulting them but also by reading them.

The English is correct. However, I question some of the content. I don't know who says that dictionaries are for reading (which, in the context, I understand to mean reading sequentially from beginning to end). Also, "because they are different ..." seems a weak explanation. I don't know whether something may have been lost in translation?

What about this? Better? :-)

I think very people would say that they enjoy reading dictionaries. This is because they are not regarded as reading materials.
However, some people say that they are not for consulting but for reading.

I hate it when I have to translate something which I completely disagree with:-(

I do occasionally read as an interesting article a full entry in the OED, but I have never heard of anyone reading a dictionary.

I would write it this way.

However, some people say that they are not only for reading but also for consulting.

I think very people would say that they enjoy reading dictionaries. This is because they are not regarded as reading material. (Reading material is non-count in this context.)

However, some people say that they are not only for reference for consulting but for reading.

I see!! Thank you very much everyone for your thoughts:) And thank you very much for AlpheccaStars for your great idea;-)
