    4 out of 5 stars Love This Thing   July 11, 2008
    Monita Chittick
    I absolutely love this little gadget. After 3 years of heavy use, it finally konked out, and I tried replacing with a similar Franklin model, but found its layout cumbersome and inconvenient.

    On the Sharp, however, I like that the 3 different dictionaries are easily accesible, the rest of the options can be accessed by other nearby buttons, and the backlight is a really nice feature--so there's no need to flip through a lot of menus. It also has two different font-sizes.

    The main things I like about this though are that the keyboard is easy to type on, and when you search for a word, it's kind of like flipping through a dictionary (it's hard to explain). But I like it because it's a good way to find new words and such. If only it had more words.

    It looks okay, and the lid is easy to flip open when you need it quick, and it has a nice puzzle solver/geography section. I preferred its Spanish translations to the Franklin's, as it had several different ways to use each word (when applicable)--granted, the Franklin could translate 5 languages. And had games.

    Nice and quick to use, quick to learn the functions, and very, very convenient for school.




    5 out of 5 stars AWESOME PRODUCT!   May 3, 2008

    There's nothing much to say except that it's an awesome product and very helpful when needed. :)


    5 out of 5 stars This is a quick and convenient look-up tool   March 31, 2008
    Lee W. Meister (Houston, Texas)
    It's worth every penny of the after rebate price!

    It is very straightforward to use and the keyboard is large enough to ensure that you only hit one key most of the time. I like dictionaries and own several in book form. Oxford has long been my favorite. This portable little gadget makes a nice addition to my arsenal and is great for quick look-ups.

    I've been playing with the Geographic Dictionary and it contains more information than I expected.




    2 out of 5 stars Very confusing   March 26, 2008

    Insert a word and it comes up with many selections to choose from. If you don't know the word... how can you select one?


    3 out of 5 stars Good overall   March 22, 2008
    J. Bishop (Raleigh, NC United States)
    It's a little confusing to used at first, but once you get the hang of it, it really works pretty well. I find myself going back to the manual to use the more advanced features however. Some of the keys are non-intuitive (there's no space bar, for example; you just leave it out). The screen is difficult to read in all but the brightest light unless you turn on the backlight. All in all, I'm pretty impressed with, especially for what I paid.
