Franklin Merriam Webster Spanish English Dictionary (DBE-1500) Buy Now


I just ordered this bilingual dictionary as a replacement for my old Franklin DBE-1450, which fits easily in my shirt pocket, but is an abridged dictionary. The DBE-1500 does not fit in a shirt pocket and is a very awkward size. But the most glaring deficiency is the fact that it, too, is a dictionary geared toward middle school and, at best, high school students. It appears to be highly abridged just as is the 1450 - not very useful for real world adult use. I used to have an older "speaking" dictionary, an 1890 I think, that was more like an adult dictionary. It was useful but was not very portable (unless you carry a purse or backpack) and the sound was terrible. What I hoped I was getting in the DBE-1500 was a good unabridged dictionary without the sound. Oh well; I'll give it to my high school sophomore grandson, I guess. Would appreciate advice from anyone who knows of a good unabridged electronic dictionary. Get more detail about Franklin Merriam Webster Spanish English Dictionary (DBE-1500).
