Amazon.com Review

A terrific companion for readers, students, and writers, this nifty device is a 50,000-word electronic dictionary that's slim enough to be used as a bookmark and also functions as a clock/calendar, calculator, and schedule or clock alarm. Lightweight and measuring just 5-1/2 by 3-1/4 inches, the device consists of a power unit with a 1-3/4-inch screen and a flexible keypad the thickness of a credit card. In dictionary function, the power unit searches for a word keyed onto the screen and displays the word's definition on the screen. It provides spelling help, too. Pushing the "?" key for an uncertain letter in a word permits a search for the correct word.

The keypad sets the clock/calendar and manipulates the calculator function. The alarm function is especially useful. It can be set as a clock alarm (anytime over 24 hours) or as a schedule alarm (on a selected date at a selected time). In either case, when the alarm sounds, the screen will also display a message keyed in--perfect as a reminder for, say, a dentist appointment. A 10-year lithium battery (included) powers the unit, and an automatic shutoff preserves the battery if the on/off button is not pushed after a couple of minutes. --Fred Brack
