 An Excellent Writing And Reading Tool June 20, 2007

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I first saw this wonderful tool Franklin Compact Oxford English Dictionary just a few years ago, but never gave it much thought, for I believed that it was too good to be true. Therefore, another Franklin Dictionary that I still have and use but is no longer available was purchased for me as a gift. I still use it and love it. However, not purchasing the Oxford was a decision remised and with great lamentation. Fortunately, while on a recent trip I found this wonderful tool in a local bookstore. Simply put, I love this little dictionary! Its flat silhouette is just right for using it as a bookmark or attaching it to the end of my books for future reference. It is a wonderful tool to have on the plane, in bed, and even in my private "library", where I do a lot of reading. Regarding its flat buttons, one only needs to use a pencil's eraser instead as one's finger. I use the eraser of my mechanical pencils. Have the patience to take the time to find your way when pressing the flat buttons of your Oxford. You will then love using repeatedly. The word list has been a great help for the betterment of my vocabulary arsenal, which is extremely week. I am very partial toward Oxford dictionaries, therefore, I am very happy that Franklin has adopted this delightful little unit for those of us who need all the help we can get while attempting to become proficient avid readers.

This is useful, but I would recommend a regular electronic dictionary that has more features and easier keys to use. This dictionary isn't very handy.

Works well. Keys are very small, which I suspose is necessary, given the size, which is good for sticking in the book bag. Should be good for students, nine through university for quick reference. The only real pain, I suppose, is it's not very intuitive, which is the problems of all dictionaries, print or "e". If you don't know how to spell the word, a print dictionary might be easier.

Pretty good electronic dictionary. If you're reading Stephen Donaldson, there will be a lot of words this dictionary does not have :-)
There are two shortcomings to this device. If you are like me, the reason you got this was to have a dictionary to use while reading in bed. Franklin really should have added a backlight for the display... it's very hard to read in dim light.
Second, there is a cool feature--word list--that allows you to add words to a personal list. The problem is that the list can only be 40 words. A very short list in my opionion.
Some might find the "keyboard" annoying, but I've had no problem using it.
