So handy! rating: 5
How did I go without it before!? I'm a grad student and reading is my life for the next few years, so this little gadget has been such a handy dandy tool! Now I don't need to sit near a computer to use Dictionary.com or lug around a pocket dictionary that probably won't have all the complicated words I need anyway!

My constant companion rating: 5
I have now had mine for over 3 years. Aside from changing the batteries, I have had no problems. My real problem now is wanting to buy a second one to carry with me at all times.
It has been a boon to my vocabulary and reading comprehension. So many times I skip over a word or try to discern its meaning from the context of the passage. With this tool, I can look it up immediately. With a hardback dictionary, it was just too much trouble and I rarely had one with me when I needed it.
Being a crossword puzzle junkie, this is an invaluable tool. Its best feature in this regard is the ability to type in the letters you know and position questions marks to represent the missing letters. Bingo! You have a list of possible words.
The economy may be dismal, but I am going to buy a second one!

I simply love it.
The only complaint I have is that it does not have a back function.

best dictionary for your money rating: 5
After reading and using franklin products, I have found this dictionary to be more comprehensive in meanings and is by far a more superior dictionary than the franklin. I purchased and returned the franklin collegiate dictionary. It was very difficult to see the screen and after some use, not user friendly nor did it have words that I was looking up. This sharp dictionary is much more user friendly however I must remember to push the super jump button before the thesaurus or I lose the word. I don't care for the grammar, spell, or calculator functions since I don't use it but it is handy. The buttons are soft which I don't like but that's the only gripe I have with it.
