[B-Greek] Reader's Lexicon vs. Interlinear

My understanding is that readers lexicons, Kubo for instance, do not gloss
the use of a word in a text.  They simply gloss the first listing in BDAG or
whatever.  It seems to me they can dull one's finer grap of a word at the
intermediate level or above.  It's better to use something like BDAG that
has all or most uses of a word and example citations.  I just wish I had
BDAG on my Palm Pilot!

Dear List,

Perhaps someone could comment on the difference between using an 
interlinear and a "Reader's Lexicon" (e.g. Sakae Kubo's).  I do not 
have the latter, but am wondering if it would be a positively useful 
tool, but I can't help wonder if using one would be just like using an 
interlinear text since both simply give running glosses (no parsings) 
of the Greek, from what I can tell...

Thanks,
