Do text-hookers do more harm than good?

After using one for ~2 weeks, I'm really getting the feeling that they're making me not pay anywhere near enough attention to what I'm reading. I don't pay attention to which kanji are being used to write the words I'm reading, I don't pay attention to conjugations, and I rarely have to trouble myself with thinking about where a word begins and ends because the text-hooker separates everything automatically with a decent level of accuracy. I also feel like having something so convenient is just making me really lazy with my reading in general.

Am I just overthinking things and worrying over nothing?
