I reviewed a couple of electronic dictionaries online and there is no ONE perfect dictionary that would have all the features that one would want. But this one is the closest to what I have always wanted. It has a wide range of vocabulary - easily accessed. It is simple in use and fun to use too. I like it and advise it to anyone who wants to work with their vocabulary and pronunciation :) (I'm from Europe :-)
Everything is great except that the color is kind of man's color, a little dark grey. but it is of great help that I keep it with me all the time as a college student.
I recommend it.
"An exceptional experience"

What an exceptional experience I had dealing with aaron. Would not hesitate to buy from him again!
I am a Doctoral candidate and this little gem was a must for me. I had a speller for years and it was time to upgrade. The speaking part of this device is the best! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it needs a backlight, so when I get profound epiphanys in the middle of the night I don't have to turn on a light.
"Mediocrity and poor endurance"

This dictionary is mediocre at best and a bitter disappointment for endurance of product. Major shortcomings are: non-retention of the last word used -- i.e., a word entered by user is not retained in the lookup window after the unit is powered off unless a word is deliberately saved by user in the unit's word list, which itself requires a rather tedious means for maintenance; the spoken pronunciation of a word does not sound natural -- i.e., the digitally-generated voice has a rather unpleasant machine-like quality to it -- therefore the definition should be accompanied by a pronunciation guide/key; the unit's physical keys are not user-friendly for larger fingers -- i.e., adjacent keys are too easily engaged, resulting in an erroneous entry and/or an inconvenient interference. My particular dictionary was purchased new but it remained fully functional for only fifteen months, after which, without ANY abuse whatsoever during ownership of the product, the ENTER key and up/down scroll keys failed to be recognized, rendering the unit useless except to read the FIRST PART of a definition by pressing the DICT or THES key on the unit's tool bar. Given that the failure of my Franklin SCD-1870 occurred shortly beyond its one-year warranty period, this experience leaves a nasty memory of a relatively expensive Franklin product. As a replacement, I purchased a Sharp PW-E550, which seems to be overall a product that is superior in almost all aspects to the Franklin SCD-1870, even notwithstanding no spoken pronunciation for the Sharp replacement.
"Excellent Investment"

Excellent product! I have used this dictionary for almost five years now. It is easy to use, informative, and has withstood being dropped countless times. It has very good learning tools to help you expand your vocabulary. The "speak" tool has helped me fix words I had mispronounced my whole life. I love it...worth the money.
