Is there a built-in dictionary for defining words as a read?

Yes, there is. If you long press on a word, a definition appears in a popup screen. It appears just as a dictionary with pronunciation, part of speech, and multiple definitions ranked by use.

I'm not aware of one, but we did order the newest Scrabble dictionary.....it's very complete and easy to use.

Looking up lexicons it reads wordbook or dictionary, of Greek, Latin, or Hebrew. The answer to your question is no.

The book has to have the listening feature imbedded in the book. The just imitate the read function as you would on you're Kinle

Like all dictionaries that I have ever seen, it gives the meanings of words. Some conversational expressions are provided; but one has to learn the language elsewhere in order to translate whole sentences.

Wouldn't the word dictionary work? There's a number of additional software packages out there, but generally they don't offer anything really special in content. They usually only add an interface.Bottom line, have you tried pocket Word on this device yet? If you preview it at a retailer, you can generally test out the apps. Word has a dictionary integrated, though I'm not positive if it is slimmed down for this PDA pocket version.

Absolutely, and what a wonderful surprise for me. Come across an unfamiliar word, hold your finger on it for a second, and up pops the dictionary entry with its meaning and part of speech.

Yes, that is what reading means. Plug it into a computer and it works just like a built-in disk drive would. That isn't a stupid question. I have seen a lot of drives on Amazon that are only writeable, and descriptions can be unclear.

Pocket Word (for Mobile Devices) is very streamlined. It doesn't have many of the convenience features of the standard issue. I installed Encarta dictionary years ago and merely copy it to my newer Pocket PC's. It is only usable in Microsoft Reader application, however. It's nice reading a book in MS Reader and merely click on a word to get the definition. It's possible that Encarta will be discontinued after the initial post.

Yes. As one who works with many open books at a time, this is a very helpful tool.

Yes. I actually use the Nook app in the tablet to read my e-books (even though I don't own any B&N books), reads my EPUB books perfectly and I like its internal (i.e. not online) dictionary. I think it has the Kindle app pre-installed but I haven't used it.

Yes. It takes a bit of know how. I couldn't think of a better word than bit for how simple the task of converting files can be. Have you heard of Calibre? Try an Internet search for 'convert eread file'. Best of luck and enjoy the portability of your favorite literature!

The LM6000b that I've purchased for my students is an excellent tool as a speaking dictionary, speak in sentences?, no.

I have version 5.3 and it does not include the NIV or NASB. It has KJV, ASV, Bish, DBY, DSV, BG, KJV2000, KJV16, LGB, LSV, RVG, SRV, TR, Tyndell, and my personal favorite, the KJVSL (KJV with Strong's links). You could hardly find a better software for word studies.

This is a very good question that Casio itself should answer. In my opinion I don't think it is possible to do that because all the dictionaries are part of the software Cassio provides for this model. You won't be dissapointed with all the dictionaries the translator offers you, Englsh-English, Eng-Spanish, collocations, phrasal verba, Britannica, Thesaurus, etc. As I said previously a good Pronunciation dictionary would be really appreciated but you have at least a brief mention of the main phonetic pronunciation in some of these dictionaries. To be honest I will ask Casio about this, but I am afraid the answer will be: " in next version we will try to get it" or try yourself at http://www.casio-europe.com/es/ed/

Yes. you can easily move from one to the other, and I also use it as an English dictionary on occasion.

No, you cannot. It functions as a dictionary and will only translate a word. It does have some conversational phrases under differnt categories like dining, emergency, etc. but you cannot type in a phrase and ask it to translate it for you.
