Thanks for the reply. I took Harry's advice and got the Chambers (and Thesaurus)

Wow, I knew Mobipocket was expensive, but I didn't expect them to add an ADDITIONAL 19.5% on top for VAT! What is the point of eBooks if they are MORE expensive than the paper equivalent? Mobipocket better get their act in gear or they'll be out of business soon! Especially as I bought from another store online, and not via the mobipocket software, and I didn't get charged VAT
