Any alternative dictionaries you like?

So far, the included dictionary seems pretty good. The only fault I find is that it does not show the pronunciation, and the definitions are much too small to read comfortably. But otherwise, not bad. So far, only one time did they not have a word I did not know either.

Anyhow, out of curiosity, went to the Kindle store and searched for "dictionary." Got a large list of all sorts of specialized ones, but only one general one, the "Oxford Large Print Dictionary, Thesaurus, and Wordpower Guide" was available, at $23.

I doubt whether this would be any better, and the only two reviews were for the paper edition, so that was no help. I was wondering if I bought that, and used it as the default, whether the definitions would be in larger print. I emailed amazon, but the reply did not answer this question

I suppose I could use it just as a book, and do a search every time I wanted to look up a word, but that is kind of a cumbersome way to do things.

Anybody found another dictionary they feel is better than the one included?
