The ebay one costed about twice as much as the amazon one since it was sent from Australia with the additional cost of international shipping. But it works perfectly, no problem (yet?). Before the Sharp e-dictionary, over the time span of more than 10 years, I bought somewhere close to 10 e-dictionaries all of which were the Franklin brand, which were very slow to use and had very bad UI layout which were the main reasons prompted me to look into other brands. However, all my Franklin devices are still working, including the oldest one with a broken screen cover. from Amazon.com Wow! I just got my new pocket dictionary, Sharp's PW - E550. I put it through the paces and in came up with flying marks. from Amazon.com I just received this from Amazon a couple days ago and randomly browsed through the Merriam-Webster 11th Collegiate dictionary for unfamiliar words to see if they were in the Sharp e-dictionary. The following words in M-W could not be defined: from Amazon.com Sharp Electronics PW-E550 Electronic Dictionary from Amazon.com This product certainly does not need another positive review but I had to make a couple of points. I can honestly say Sharp made this unit perfect. The keys are just right, not too soft, not too hard. from Amazon.com The Sharp PW-E550 electronic dictionary exceeded all of my expectations. It is very convenient with a clean and simple interface. from Amazon.com I needed something better. I started looking for an electronic dictionary on this site. When I saw this Sharp, my search was over. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive and I bought it. from Amazon.com I normally only review something if I really like it and can give it 5 stars. I am going this 4 stars simply because Sharp could have elevated the quality of this dictionary in terms of the readability of the screen (it looks a little like the old dot matrix print) and could have put a light in the screen so you could read the dictionary in a dimly lighted area. BUT, this is a very good dictionary and as far as I know the best on the market. from Amazon.com I purchased and returned the franklin collegiate dictionary. It was very difficult to see the screen and after some use, not user friendly nor did it have words that I was looking up. This sharp dictionary is much more user friendly however I must remember to push the super jump button before the thesaurus or I lose the word. I don't care for the grammar, spell, or calculator functions since I don't use it but it is handy. from Amazon.com I looked at MANY electronic dictionaries before selecting the Sharp PW-E550, and I couldn't be happier. I am a college-educated professional person with, I believe, an above average vocabulary; however I do occasionally come across words with which I am not familiar. from Amazon.com
