great buy
By Brian D. Fitzpatrick
I've had mine for 4 yrs. still works like new.I am a voracious reader and I have never had any problem finding the information that I was looking for.That's my read.I have no clue what the other reviewer is talking about?Bumpkin.That's a rather odd choice.The definitions are essentially the same from both products.You see one has to look futher before assuming anything.Bumpkin>Thesaurus>Yokel,peasant,provincial,rustic,country cousin,countryman/woman;Irish informal culchie;N.American informal hayseed,hillbilly,hick;Austral. informal bushy.So what's the rub?Choice is a wonderful thing.Just wanted to clarify this product is superb and I believe cheaper now than when I bought it.All the best.In all fairness I like accurate information.That's the core of the matter.Brian D.

DO NOT GET THIS ONE!
By Jeremy Walls
If You're looking to buy a handheld Encyclopdia and Dictionary, DO NOT get this one. This model from Seiko not only has less dictionary definitiions, it also has less entry's (compared that to of the Sharp handheld E550 OXFORD Dictionary). For example, SHARP's word: "Bumpkin: N. An unsophisticated or socially awkward person from the countryside: She thought Tom a bit of a country bumpkin. -Derritives Bumpkinish -ADJ. -Origin late 16th cent.: perhaps from Dutch boomken 'little tree' or Middle Dutch bommekijn 'little barell' used to denote a dumpy person." and Seiko has: "Bumpkin N. An unsophisticated country person. -Derrivitives -Bumpkinish -Adjective -Origin c16: Perh. from Du. bookmen 'little tree' or MDu. bommekijn 'little barrell', denoting a dumpy person." That's it! As you can see the Seiko's Oxford definitions as it is stated are hard to read and misunderstandingly short as well as the definitions of "Encyclopdia Brittanica" in the which that I looked up, could not comprehend anything! The aaa battery operation and consumption of Seiko is good and easy like that of the Sharp. But as for the whole part, I only use and am gracefull for the Oxford's Sharp E550.
