An Electronic French Dictionary (Electronic Dictionaries)




A snip at the price!,
This is a good dictionary. It loads properly as a dictionary in my Kindle 3, and enables me to find the meaning of words just by moving the cursor to them. It has two disadvantages:
i) As it says in the product description, it only has about 200,000 entries. This means that, while it would be very good for a reader with up to about intermediate French, there are many words in more advanced texts that it does not recognise.
ii) Although it recognises inflected forms of words, it does this by telling you that the word you are looking up is the inflected form of the root word and making you flick through a couple of pages of the dictionary to find that root word. This means that, while most Kindle dictionaries will show you the meaning of a word if you just move the cursor to it, this one forces you to turn a few pages to do so. A minor nuisance.
But at the price this is a bargain.

I kept this less than 24 hours. Was not able to look up a word and translate it into French. Totally useless.
