I LOVE IT!!!

I looked at MANY electronic dictionaries before selecting the Sharp PW-E550, and I couldn't be happier. I am a college-educated professional person with, I believe, an above average vocabulary; however I do occasionally come across words with which I am not familiar. Also, as I age, I seem to be "losing" the meanings of some words I don't use frequently. I've had the dictionary about a month now, used it every day, and have only come across two words that were not included - one of them was related to "new" technology. I write and use the Thesaurus constantly. I noticed some of the other reviews criticized this dictionary because it isn't backlit. That doesn't bother me, because I don't usually read or write in the dark!!

Perfect for studying when you are travelling

I travel a lot, and I was finding it hard to study properly due to not being able to find the space in my luggage to pack big dictionaries. All that time on the plane was being wasted. This was the perfect solution.
-- It is my favorite dictionary (Oxford American)
-- It has derivations of words!!!! (etymology)
-- It is easy to use, so easy I haven't even bothered to read the directions.

The best e-dictionary out there that i know of...

I went to a store and was able to use some of the Franklin dictionaries...like 11th edition of Collegiate dictionary, the speaking dictionary. I did a search and like some other reviewers have stated, they are not good, for the most part; the speaking option is really not good, hard to understand for that one word i searched. The Sharp dictionay has a better screen, definitely more visible, by far better with the ability to look up words within words, the keys are much easier to handle, overall design is great. I wish they had other books though, like a true bilingual dictionary, or that the dictionary was a more recent edition. Overall this product is very good. I strongly recommend it.

I AM WELL PLEASED!!

This dictionary rarely fails to come up with even the most recondite words. For instance, I also own the Seiko Britannica Encyclopedia, which also contains the Oxford Dictionary. I recently looked up "Sheela-na-gig," which I came across in a book by Marija Gimbutas. It was a no-find with the Seiko dictionary but, much to my surprise, with the Sharp dictionary there it was! (I do not mean to disparage the Seiko - I like the encylopedia very much, and it is a great companion to the Sharp.)

During the day I usually consult Dictionary.com for these needs. But at night when I read, my computer is off limits to me because it is in a room which is shared by a beloved parrot, and his sleep takes priority over my "wondering what that word might mean" linguistic needs. This excellent dictionary, which I keep tableside while reading, solved this problem excellently.

It also has a nice Super Jump function if you want to look up a word within another word's definition.

Yes, I am very well pleased!

best dictionary for your money

After reading and using franklin products, I have found this dictionary to be more comprehensive in meanings and is by far a more superior dictionary than the franklin. I purchased and returned the franklin collegiate dictionary. It was very difficult to see the screen and after some use, not user friendly nor did it have words that I was looking up. This sharp dictionary is much more user friendly however I must remember to push the super jump button before the thesaurus or I lose the word. I don't care for the grammar, spell, or calculator functions since I don't use it but it is handy. The buttons are soft which I don't like but that's the only gripe I have with it.
