Buyer's feedback: - * My constant companion ...
I have now had mine for over 3 years. Aside from changing the batteries, I have had no problems. My real problem now is wanting to buy a second one to carry with me at all times.

It has been a boon to my vocabulary and reading comprehension. So many times I skip over a word or try to discern its meaning from the context of the passage. With this tool, I can look it up immediately. With a hardback dictionary, it was just too much trouble and I rarely had one with me when I needed it.

Being a crossword puzzle junkie, this is an invaluable tool. Its best feature in this regard is the ability to type in the letters you know and position questions marks to represent the missing letters. Bingo! You have a list of possible words.

The economy may be dismal, but I am going to buy a second one!

I simply love it.
The only complaint I have is that it does not have a back function.

Buyer's feedback: - * 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.

Buyer's feedback: - 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!!

Buyer's feedback: - * 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.
