Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Because my unabridged dictionary is on the 1st floor of my home, and I do the bulk of my reading in bed on the second floor, this seemed to be the answer to a long-standing problem of glossed-over words at one in the morning. In practice, it successfully handles about 80% of my unknown words and I love using it. However, it has a touch pad which is not the easiest to operate -- getting the right pressure on the pad can be problematic and the letters are too close together, so mistakes are easy to make. Because I have a fairly large vocabulary I chose this one, rather than the Merriam-Webster version, because it advertised 150,000 words rather than 100,000. The Merriam-Webster however, has little keys, like a Blackberry, and I think would be easier to operate, although I haven't tried it. The bottom line is that I use it all the time. Anyone wanting to buy one of these should try out both this one and the Merriam-Webster, to see which format suits them best and what extra features are important to them. Both are Franklin products and cost about the same.
