    • This is the best dictionary money can buy for Kindle
Format: Kindle
This is the best dictionary money can buy for Kindle, despite some minor issues which i will list in this review, of course Longman Contemporary of Engliah is more academically set up and more robust, but unfortunately they dont have a kindle version, and they kinda sux when it comes to Electronic dictionaries, any way here are the on points: Pros: . Marvelous to use, very clean and organized. . Easy and clever difintions to the point of amazement very clear and enjoyable to read. . Not only It offeres yype of the wrod ( noun, verb, adj... Etc) but also the description of the meaning like (approval, disapproval, formal, informal... Etc) . . Clean layout with bold fonts where its needed and other tricks to distinguish each purposes like (verb forms, types and examples). . Gives you alot of examples of how a word is actually used and gramaticly structured in a sentence, further more enhance your understanding and memory of it. . Gives you all form of the verb and the way to pronounce it as a verb and as a noun. . Thesaurus fo most words. Cons: . Definitions can some times be a little long and can be shortened. . Sometimes missing some special usage of the word like mythologies references. . Some large words like (make,pluck... Etc) doesnt fully show but only shows the first unscrollable 4 rows, and you have to open the dictionary from the option box (the 3 vertical dots) to see the full definition, which require additional steps, i don't know if this is a Kindle Voyage compatibility issue or Collins fault? cause i have the built in Oxford dictionary and it shows the full difinition (not as big as collins to be fare cause some Collins definitions of important words can be as big as 20 pages). . Some verbs definitions only show the original form as an unclickable or inactive link, and you have to go again to the dictionary to see the full difinition of that verb and then the links become active..! . Needs an update to the DB for example some new social words or more specialized words or new age computer reference words like "decompile" are not defined. I really hope that collins will update and fix those issues and to freely update me to the 9th version when ever it comes out, i strongly recommend this dictionary for English learners and anyone wants a great and enjoyable actual English dictionary. ... show more

    • A very concised edition and easy to understand definitions
Format: Kindle
A very detailed dictionary but the search page is missing so you Have to manually search for the particular definition of a particular Word otherwise it is worthwhile investment

    • Excellent for kids
Format: Kindle
Definitions are given with usage and without using complex words so kid can understand. Hooks up to kindle so it pops up when you click. One criticism is that because it is British english some words don't popup due to spelling differences. Also sometimes but rarely tense or plural forms cause issue with lookup on kindle. Fixing these issues in an update that would be freely available would make it a 5 star. ... show more

    • [updated] Great for children, teens and especially for English as second language
Format: Paperback
Great! As I expected. Thanks [update 2018] It is EXTREMELY great for someone who speaks English as second language(ESL) as well as children and teens. I would say if you are preparing IELTS or TOEFL, have this dictionary with you. Finding a word from online is easy, quick and maybe cheap, however it will, most likely, not stick to your brain for long. I had to go back to online may times to check the definition of same words that I searched previously, which I found that was wasting my time and efforts in long term. With paper dictionary will take your time to find a word and may need some practice, but it will stay in your brain longer because you need to keep thinking of the words over and over while you are finding the definitions. With this dictionary will help you to understand words better with sentences and examples which is the reason I am using this dictionary every time. I have other dictionary like Webster's which I found not so helpful for someone like me ESL <Comparison.> Webster's Collegiate - Forbid : 1. To proscribe from or as if from the position of one in authority Advanced Learner's - Forbid: 1. If you forbid someone to do something, or if you forbid an activity, you order that is much not be done. Of course you need to spend some time to remind the word continuously to make the word yours. But this dictionary definitely help you and may bring you some fun learning English. Other thing that I like is the quality. The paper is thick and very durable compare to regular dictionary which is easyly worn out. It also have some colored pictures which is nice to have and great way to remember any words really. Hopefully my review help you decide to have this dictionary or not and good luck! ... show more

    • The only Kindle dictionary that you can really use for listening with text to speech apps
Format: Kindle
I have always dreamed of listening a learner's dictionary, as a ESL student I've got a hard copy of the main ones like the Oxford, Longman, and the Merriam webster but after several attempts I never got to read more that a 10% of any of them, I'm a busy person so I was looking for a way for listening to them instead, I tried several of them but the format of them make it impossible to listening effectively with a text to speech app, until I find this one, guys is PERFECT I only have to activate the TalkBack feature on my android phone and it works like a charm, I started to used it 2 days ago and I've already listened 2% of it. It's seems that at last I'm going to be able to fulfill my goal. ... show more

    • I still love cobuild but I feel sorry not to be able ...
Format: Kindle
I have used cobuild since 1996 and bought newly this one in both kindle and paperback. I still love cobuild but I feel sorry because I found in one week that I was not able to find some words or usage. I was frustrated specially when every these word could be found in New oxford american which I wanted to replace with Cobuild. For example, in just one page of "The day of jackel" 'queer as verb' and 'pray as adv' can't be found out so I have to seek through the New oxford american. There are other words as similar case. ... show more
