at $34, it is definitely overpriced and not worth it.

important to know that it's not the same as the desk version. It's basically a stripped down version of the original dict, this is something they don't advertise.
Exactly what I was looking for.

For my intended use, it works great. Finally a dictionary to quickly check the meaning of a word and it's pronunciation while you're reading the passage from the book you found it in, even if reading in bed. Easy learning curve, and it allows you to quickly get back to the story!
