Customer Reviews
Amen, and beware the keyboard!
I agree with all of the negative comments made by previous reviewers, particularly the difficulty of opening the cover. I would add that the keyboard is very difficult to use. When a key is pressed, it gets stuck on one side or the other under the faceplate. If you push it again to unstick it, you generate the same character again.
I recommend that anyone interested in this product handle one in a store before purchase.
Not a good produce
The dictionary and thesaurus is too limited to be of much use. Any odd word gets a "correcting" process and gives you other words . I would not recommend this unit above a fifth grader.
Not for big kids....
I'm a college grad and I bought this dictionary thinking it would be convenient to look up words I didn't know in novels and the like. So far it seems to only have about 50% of the words I've looked up in the memory. Not too helpful, now if you are looking for word definitions like "hedge" - this is for you :)
