 Great deal December 1, 2008
I love this product, I used to read and just skip the words I didnt know because I couldnt stand flipping through the dictionary every time I wanted to know one. Just lightly press the keys and you have your definition. The only downside I can think of is it doesnt have the definitions for sort of obscure literary terms such as allophone, but this is a minor fault as it usually has the word Im searching for.
As to the dark screen complaints, I actually prefer it as it is easy on the eyes, unlike the glaring comp/cellphone screen.
 dark screen November 16, 2008
Fairly good product, extensive dictionary, easy to use, but not easy to see words on screen because the screen does not light up.
Great product! October 3, 2008

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.

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

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.
