 Great product! October 3, 2008
Ernane M. Vieira Nt (Gainesville, FL)
This product has been working perfectly since it was delivered! It is a great replacement for the big paper dictionaries and thesaurus and, while not complete (no paper or electronic dictionary is), it has more than 85% of definitions for words searched for. It is very user-friendly, battery-efficient and light-weight. I recommend it.
Great item September 20, 2008
C. Cammack (Austin, TX United States)
Our son carries this to school every day. It helps him with his German class as well as his writing. It's much more appealing than a stack of reference books for a teenager.
 Good dictionary, but has some problems. September 12, 2008
A Gera (SF, CA)
I bought this dictionary a couple of days ago and it is already broken. The problem is that it restarts by itself and erases all the user memory randomly, from time to time, for no apparent reason. I am going to return it and get a replacement. Other than that, the dictionary is good, but sometimes is a little slow. I would buy the Sharp dictionary, but it is two times as expensive and is not worth it.
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

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.
