  • ~HARD TO READ~
When I was in School my Family got me The Franklin Dictionary & Thesaurus Computer, it was in 1987 over 25 years ago. I still have it and still works although a little outdated. After looking at dozens of Advanced Dictionary & Thesaurus I decided to get this one, Franklin Electronics Merriam-Webster's Advanced Dictionary and Thesaurus. Well, that was a mistake, I find it to be too small for me just under half the size of my old one, it measures 5 Inches Long by 3.3 Inches Wide and the Screen measures 3.2 Inches Long by about 1.1 Inches Wide. The Screen is Hard to Read I have to Tilt the Unit certain way to be able to read it, over a Dark Greenish Background with Blue Lettering Font, Not even Black Color, if you have 20/20 Vision God Bless you otherwise you will have Problems The Shape of the Unit is Awkward, The Design is Awkward and the Protective Lid is very Annoying The Hard Cover made to Protect the Electronic Dictionary has two screws to fasten in the back of the Unit to keep it secure, even like that it gets on my way, so I fold the Lid under the Unit to control it. When the Unit is on and If I don't use it after 5 Minutes it turns itself Off, I wish it would stay on for good, till I'm done and ready, so I keep clicking the "On" Button located on the right side of the Unit every time to check on another word. It has 7 Books in One, you can read all about that on The Product Details. The Automatic Shutoff can be set up under Settings from 1 to 5 Minutes, that is the Longest Time. The Franklin Electronic Dictionary also has many Games: Anagrams, Hangman, Jumble, World Builder, World Train, 1 Player Link Four, 2 Player Link Four, 1 Player Tic Tac Toe and 2 Player Tic Tac Toe, I don't Play any of them Specially in such Small Screen. Believe it or not I do like the Clock it has nice Big Numbers, Home Time and World Time, and very easy to set up. The 5 Language Translator is very limited, it does not have many words, and so many of them I already knew, Example: "House" in various languages: Casa, Maison, Haus, Casa (Italian the same)...or "Eat": Comer, Manger, Essen, Mangiare...who doesn't know that or how to say "Beautiful" in Spanish: Bonito, or in Italian: Bello...The 5 Language Translator is a Joke, I thought it would be more Sophisticated than that! If you have a Kid, Fourth or Third Grader or younger this Electronic Dictionary would be perfect for Them! The Franklin Dictionary arrived very Fast in a Great Big Hermetical Sealed Plastic Container, I kept looking for any Tools to Pry Open the Hard Plastic Box. If I could I would send it back unfortunately I had totally Destroyed the Thick Plastic Container in my effort to open it. I am been very Generous by giving it 3 Stars! ...Thank You D.D. ... show more

  • The MWD-1510 is adequate
I purchased the MWD-1510 as a back-up to my Sharp Electronic Dictionary. In comparison I find that the MWD-1510 is slower to power-on, must clear initializing word before entering a request, LCD is smaller and first line is difficult to read even on largest print style, it has more functions but has complicated sequence to arrive at them without using the instructions (try to find them in a year or so), definitions are shorter and less descriptive, and if I understand the instructions properly new words may be added to the MWD-1510 dictionary (unlike the Sharp) - but don't quote me on that, batteries: 2- CR2032s vs. one AAA for the Sharp. The MWD-1510 is about half the price of the Sharp. I'll keep it for now. ... show more

  • Excellent
Very similar to the older version that my husband had. He uses it for his crossword puzzles.

  • good data base
The only problem I find with this electronic dictionary is the need to tilt the case downward while holding it in the air in order to see the first row of words, usually the word that I'm defining. I also found the dictionary much more detailed than what I find with the Nook built in dictionary, although the Nook comes with Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary. Still, much faster than looking up the entry in a hand held paper Dictionary, yet not as convenient as a built in e-reader Dictionary. Overall, I recommend that you buy this Dictionary, refurbished, for a good value. ... show more

  • SCREEN VERY DIFFICULT TO READ - GREAT OTHERWISE
PROS: The size is great, and this dictionary was just what I had hoped it would be in terms of content. It has a larger content of words than my abridged "pocket" dictionary (paperback sized but very thick) and is small enough to leave at the bedside when I read at night. CONS: As has been mentioned by others, this is VERY HARD TO READ. I have reset word size and lighting, but to be honest, I think the only place this would be good for me to see would be outdoors with great light. There is hardly any angle I can find using the bedside light that allows me to clearly the content on the screen clearly. Also, as mentioned elsewhere in other reviews, the top most line is even harder to see than the lower ones. OTHER THOUGHTS: I will continue to use this until I find a replacement with a better screen. I was hoping to avoid similar sized devices with flip open screens (greater screen size) due to the frailty of connections through hinges but think that is where I'll have to go next to find a better screen. That's too bad because this device would get 5-Stars except for the hard-to-read screen. ... show more

  • Retro e-Dictionary Still Shines
What a find! The Franklin dictionaries traditionally had one of the most enjoyable anagram games around. There is nothing as good for any smart phone or computer that I have ever seen. Our 15 year old Franklin was wearing out, with buttons that stuck or didn't work. While this is not the same model we had, it still has the same games, which makes it well worth the investment. ... show more

  • Okay...but
This electronic dictionary is fine, if you're a grade school child and have great vision. The definitions are cursory and held to the most common usage. The screen is not back lit, and in low light the device must be twisted this way and that in order to be read. This device is NOT for college level individuals. I gave it away to a neighbor's high school daughter and ordered an OED. ... show more
