Franklin MWD-1440 Dictionary and Thesaurus with Bookman II

Is working as described.

It did not work at all and I didn't know where to send it back. I have 3 that did not work

I received the item a few days after ordering it and it has worked to my satisfaction thus far. It is slightly used but very functional none the less.

the best dictionary EVER!! so many words are spelt the same but have different meanings. this tells you if you have it right. and even if your off on the spelling a couple letters or so, it gives you a few words to chose from and the meanings to help you chose the right one. for me, cant live without it

Was not as I expected. I fact it quit operating after a couple of hours. Was returned with purchase refunded.

Product appeared to be well used or abused. Batteries ran down very quickly. Was very careful with sticky on/off button. No instructions. Not previous owners fault. Using my own German/English bookman, could not figure out how to use it. Again: Batteries ran down very quickly. Luck of the draw, I guess. Not happy! LOOKING FOR MODEL DBD-2015. Anybody have one?

I recently read a review by dave lester concerning a Seiko dictionary. In it he explained that he uses that product like I intended to use the Franklin. I use it while reading and every time I come across a new word I like to quickly look it up. In to many cases, I find that the product is just not up to the task. If more time were spent for just the dictionary and less for games etc., you would have a much better product.

The only bad thing I would say is it isn't back lit and hard to see. You'll need good lighting
