 Has everything one could want August 2, 2005

This electronic dictionary has not let me down even once. I have looked up thousands of words with it and I always get a definitive definition. This is a solid dictionary that everyone should consider buying
 This model is far inferior to the E500. May 26, 2005
30 out of 51 found this review helpful
The E500 which is not sold in the USA has 355,000 definitions. The US model is a stripped down version and has 105,000 fewer words. I often can't find the word I am looking for in the American version, why they don't sell the better model here is a mystery to me.
If you don't mind settling for less words, this product is still better than any other in the electronic dictionary category, especially the Franklin series.

This product is virtually flawless. If it had a backlit screen there would be no need to ever create a new model. I am a Pre-Law Philosophy major and I read thousands of pages a semester. This dictionary allows me to look up terms rapidly and not break my line of concentration when reading. I use all of the major resources -dictionary, thesaurus, and usage guide- on a regular basis, and in the month I have been using it, I have already noticed an improvement in my language skills. This product is not only "as good as" written dictionaries, but it surpasses them do to the speed of referencing and cross-referencing.
No Running to the Nearest Computer Anymore! January 19, 2005
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
I would highly recommend buying this dictionary over all others simply because it provides you with much more "content" than any other! This dictionary/thesaurus/grammar handheld holds so much information that is available right when *you* need it; no need to run to the nearest computer to look up that one word you don't know... just pull this little, thin thing out of your bag/pocket and you're set.
Most other reviewers will agree with me in saying that this handheld contains an over-abundance of words that most handheld dictionaries never bother to put in. Why waste money getting a Franklin that you have to buy even more miscellaneous products in order to get the standard of English you sought in the first place? Save yourself some trouble and buy this because there won't ever be a need for buying another, let alone "accessories" that you very well could do without.
I'll admit, before I bought this, I did quite a bit of research on what was available, for how much, and the value of the item. This is a one-time buy, something you'll never need to replace or return for something better.
Quiet, unobtrusive (as another reviewer states as well), and compact... For those of us who obsess over the littlest definitions or if you're a perfectionist, buy this handy little item, you'll never regret it!
Just recieved it today. Initial impressions are... January 8, 2005

Good
* Screen size is just about right, very readable and fairly bright. Zoom feature is excellent
* Love that the words appear as you type, very fast. Only the spell checker has a delay, but works very well.
* The definitions are extensive and include a sentence with the word.
Bad
* Not a biggy but for the price I wish the case was metal.
* I'm not always reading in a well lit room when I look up a word so a backlight would be nice.
