Good Buy! August 17, 2008
Daniel E. Carpio (Laurel, MD USA)
Good buy! This is much better than having to haul a heavy dictionary around. The language features also come in handy.
 Older Was Better August 2, 2008
N. Walker (USA)
I got this to upgrade from my clunky older electronic dictionary. Some upgrade! It lacked five words from a Woody Allen book, several from Bill Bryson, some from Thurston Clarke. I just gave up trying to find anything. For the price and its claims I expected much more. I would gladly have my old clunky back, but it went to the Goodwill Store.
My old clunky electronic dictionary was doing okay but I had upgraders syndrome and went for this one. Wrong mover! Besides missing tons of words, surprise! It does not, like the older model, give the word derivations! This was a cruel blow.
The lid is really hard to open and I have considered just tearing it off.
This model has tons of features but the old clunky was much easier to operate.
I am thinking of using my Mozilla Internet Dictionary, or going for the Oxford CD Rom.
Maybe someday these manufacturers will realize that when some of us go to buy a dictionary, we expect to find words in it, instead of games and five-language translators.
There is just no substitute for a good dictionary.

This item was a gift for our 11 year old grand daughter. She absolutely loved it. Price was fair and delivery just as expected.
