Franklin - Merriam-Webster Intermediate Handheld Electronic Dictionary

Surprised at how cheaply it feels to use. Wish I could actually seen one before ordering it. On/off is not very responsive. Should have waited for the "next generation". It works, but still disappointed.

I bought this for my husband to use while he reads. He often wants to know what a word means and I thought this would be easier than a dictionary to page through. Unfortunately, it very often could not find the words he was looking for. It has been a dissappointment really. More frustrating than useful. It did not come close to the money I spent on it for usefulness. I do not recomment this item. Get another brand.

this is for a 7 th grader his mother tells me that he uses it a lot....

Many basic words are excluded along with political, scientific and academic terms. I have owned earlier versions of these electronic dictionaries that were much more extensive. It is unusable for my intermediate research and reading purposes.

This little book is so great when your writing reports or summary's, if you get stuck on a word you just reach in your pocket and you have the references at your finger tips.
