5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for the price, November 26, 2006
This review is from: Franklin MWD-1490 Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus with Comprehensive Reference Set (Electronics)
I recently got one and i'm pretty satisfied so far. Features of this include:
1. Word of the day (random word everytime you turnon).
2. Super-jump (jump to definition of any word in the screen).
3. dictionary <-> thesaurus switch given a word
4. wrong spelling suggestion
5. word finder (by using ? or * characters). "?" will match any character. "*" will match any one or more characters. ie, "an?" will match "and, ant, any, etc"
6. Organizer (clock, address book, Calculator, Converter, Currency)
7. It has exercises (Spelling bee, SAT, flashcards)
8. It has 7 games (anagrams, hangman, jumble, word builder, word train, link four, tictactoe
9. 5-language translator
10. Display has 3 font option (small, large, medium).
Given that it's less than $50, it's a pretty good product. The display is OK and readable (don't compare it to colored back-lit LCD screen). It doesn't have backlight bec it's powered by 2 CR2032 battery. Keys are good. Dictionary content is the typical Webster book (not the heavy and thick one). Don't expect all known words to exist.

4.0 out of 5 stars Depends on what you need...., January 11, 2007
This review is from: Franklin MWD-1490 Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus with Comprehensive Reference Set (Electronics)
I didn't know, when ordering Merriam-webster Dictionary, Thesaurus and Reference Suite that the Webster Collegiate was also available. Merriam-webster gives definitions BUT NOT ETYMOLOGIES. That was a big disappointment for me. I also wanted the full, collegiate vocabulary. On the other hand, the "M-w." is small, light-weight, has an excellent thesaurus & complete definitions. The spell checker & reference features are handy. I really liked the crossword helper. All these "extras" did not make up for the lack of etymologies & collegiate vocab. for me. M-w.'s a good tool. It just depends on what you need.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a five star item., January 4, 2007
By David J. Oddo (Summerfield, Fl) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Franklin MWD-1490 Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus with Comprehensive Reference Set (Electronics)
This item caries the bare neccessities to qualify as a dictionary/thesaurus. Some faults I have oberved are: The letters on the LCD are extremely small and hard to read depending on the light source. The contents of the thesaures could be greatly expanded. The dictionaly/speller works well but could be expanded. The battery power should be changed to 2 triple "A"s as the barreries included don't last long and are somewhat expensive. For the price it's a good purchase.
