Superb 21 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am learning to read in Spanish and needed a translation dictionary that would work automatically on my new Kindle. This dictionary is brilliant. I was a bit worried that it would be a nuisance having to set this as default dictionary and then have to change back whenever I needed an English or French dictionary. However the Kindle allows you to select a default dictionary for each language. The Kindle automatically detects the language and uses the correct dictionary. The Collins dictionary recognises conjugated verbs and verbs with attached pronouns, and seems to have a wide vocabulary. I bought this instead of the cheaper Merriam-Webster because I have an electronic Franklin/Merriam-Webster dictionary and haven't been very impressed with the content compared to my paperback Collins.

I am also starting to read Spanish, I got about half a page into my book before I decided I did need a dictionary for all my wonderful new vocabulary words.

This dictionary installs automatically in your Kindle as default Spanish dictionary. Your Kindle even know when you are reading Spanish, which I found very cleaver. It is phenomenally easy to use.

It has practically every word, including conjugations of verbs, I just have to figure out for myself what words are actually character's names! I think it is well worth the money to get this one rather than a cheaper version.

No pdf files 23 Mar 2012
By Nic
Format:Kindle Edition
I just want to warn others that my Kindle (version 4) fails to display the dictionary when I want to read files that I converted from pdf into kindle format. When I place the cursor over a word, it just displays 'no dictionalry found'. It is a disapointment as I have many pdf spanish books. The same thing happens with the Spanish-Spanish dictionary that can be downloaded from 'Archived items' in the kindle.
The Collins dictionary itself is very extensive, with a wide range of idiomatic expressions and acronyms. I feel it is the perfect e-dictionary for those willing to learn Spanish.
And the combination of the kindle plus a dictionary is wonderful. Reading Spanish books has become a real pleasure as it is so much faster to look up for unknown words.
Overall this product is fantastic value for money.
