MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - TREMENDOUS need for Sony-dictionary: OVER 1,000 downloads since december!*

Clemenseken · 02-29-2008, 06:04 AM

Hi! ... just would like to mention that by today OVER 1,000 users have downloaded an English-to-ITALIAN (!) dictionary:
"Dizio_IngItaliano3.pdf" (and "...4p.pdf" / link below) that I created from a free source dictionary file.
It uses SONY's ability to do page jumps in PDFs in a "simple" but -it seems- usable way.

As it contains a very special language combination (English for Italian-born readers) I can't even imagine how vast the need might be for more populous combinations (maybe to Spanish? ...French? ...German?** ...even Chinese/Japanese?).

(I'm NOT begging for karma, am I?)

* I checked in the attachment search and found out that only TWO books uploaded EVER to MobileRead were downloaded more often - and one of these is available since june last year (Harvard Classics, Vol. 05 / Schroeder, Karl: Ventus). Following the dictionary are Jane Austen, Shakespeare and the BIBLE - all again uploaded nearly one year ago!)

** Just for Germans: My English is good enough - at least for reading... If I'd get feedback/demands to do an English-to-German dictionary I might do one, though. (Would anybody be prepared to pay a very small "shareware" fee? Please answer if interested...)
