Franklin DMQ119 Collins Dictionary & Thesaurus

excellent value for money. update of previous item for my father and he would not be without it!!

Fits in my suit pocket, helps with the odd word i forgot how to spell or when i need to clarify some meanings. It has the Express Collins dictionary so its not a massive dictionary like the more expensive ones but for everyday use it's great.

This was such a waste for money for me!

As an OU student I was very keen to buy an electronic dictionary/thesaurus - I chose this one as it seemed a reasonable price and promised much. What the packaging doesn't tell you is that the screen is tiny, the text difficult to read, and the definitions are very limited.
I have ended up having to spend 3 times as much to get a really good model with a big screen, as I just found this model a waste of time, money and energy.

My advice is to save up and get a more expensive model, or stick to the heavy and cumbersome - but much more detailed - paper versions.
