So I'm thinking of going electric, and making the big push to acquire more vocab.

Anyone looked into the whole digital dictionary scene recently?

What did you choose, and why?

Anyone bought another one after learning the first was not so good? Which was it, and what went wrong?

Thanks for any feedback & info.!

Most of them have pretty much the same dictionaries for E-K and K-E which is pretty much what you will use.

I payed 89,000 won for mine at Emart. It was a discontinued model and I got the last one. It has lots of study guide stuff for Koreans that are of no use to an English speaker.

If you pay more you can get more stuff that is of no use to a an English speaker and still get the same basic dictionary that , as another thread pointed out, still has quite a few flaws.

Basically get the cheapest you can find.
