I'm a newbie reader and often find myself needing to open the dictionary at least once every few pages. Although I'm a newbie, my vocabulary is at least of an average proficiency so I wonder what it's like for the majority of readers, how much does the average reader care about vocabulary? Do you need to be careful not to use uncommon words so as not to break the flow of a reader? Or maybe you need to decide on your target audience and try to find the appropriate vocabulary for them? How do authors choose their vocabulary?
