franklin dictionary and translator 
2008-04-07
It is good, but the translation feature is not as strong as the dictionary. the screen should have illumination.
Great item 
2008-04-06
Bought this for my wife and she loves it. I tried it out a few times and was quite impressed. It has a lot of words.
Great Resource 2008-03-06
I thoroughly enjoy the handy reference, quick dictionary, and translator. Compared to similar products, the Franklin MWD-1490 holds the largest volume of dictionary entries. I've also found many German and Italian words that I've needed translated from scholarly works. There have been several occasions where English words as well as foreign have not been found in this products 300,000 English dictionary. However, from what I've researched, it is currently the best product in its category on the market.
What I did not appreciate about this product is that when I placed it in my cart on Dec 27, 2007 it cost $36.99 Two days later, it jumped up $7. By the time I'd checked out on Jan 9th, it increased to $49.99. This seems like false pricing or underhanded business tactics unjustified by rapid inflation. However, it is the first time I've come across this situation. I'll probably check the blogs to see if anyone else has met with similar situations.
Nice one but Interface not to handy 2008-03-01
I bought this for my cousion, and she like that product very much and happy with it.
You can search all most every word but what i didn't like is the "Screen".
The screen is not so good but its ok.
Rest all is fine, games are also good.
Dictionary: not bad; Translation: poor 
2008-02-26
I had wished for this product and received it as a gift. The dictionary is 'acceptable'(some words are just not there); Translation (I'm using English/German and the reverse) is often totally wrong. A word typed in in German is often changed to a similar sounding word and then translated which, of course, is a disaster. With translation in mind, I could not recommend this product. Sorry.
An appreciated gift 2008-06-21
I bought this item (Franklin electronic dictionary) as part of an 8th grade graduation gift for my grandaucghter. She said she liked it and it would come in handy in High School next year.
Great product. 2008-05-31
No backlight LED for night time use but other than that amazing. I take it with me everywhere.
VERY HANDY DEVICE 2008-05-28
I must use this device five to ten times a day! It is the handiest "word gizmo" I've ever seen or used. I especially like the Thesaurus section. I write many things and do not like repeating the same word over and over again. I highly recommend it to anyone who writes a lot or a little.

I received the Franklin Dictionary and Thesaurus Organizer and am enjoying using it very much. It is very handy when writing a letter or paper. It has been great for quick research of words.
okay dictionary 2008-05-15
This is not as extensive as I would have liked. I was hoping it would replace my old beat up paper dictioary, but i guess old fashioned is better!
