It is because the printed dictionaries have been eclipsed by increasing popularity of online versions and electronic ones, with data stored in handy electronic devices.

Electronic dictionaries have gained popularity as they are more portable, and online ones are popular as they are convenient for searching and copying such as when users write reports on personal computers.

Electronic and online dictionaries have rapidly proliferated because data in the printed versions are easily transferred into digital media compared with most kinds of publications.

Online dictionaries also appeal to users because of the convenience of search engine functions, which print dictionaries naturally cannot offer.
