Do Not Buy the Kindle Edition,
By Houdini "film buff" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Filmmaker's Dictionary (Kindle Edition)
The Kindle edition is worthless unless you read your dictionaries like a novel. There is no way to navigate through the dictionary to look for a particular word. It's one big fat set of pages with no sub-divisions whatsoever. There isn't even alphabetical chapters to at least get you to the correct letter of the alphabet when looking for a word. It's a big waste of money. I wish I could return it.I'm sure the hard copy is fine. But that if you need this dictionary.
