Whenever I start to learn a new language I try to listen more than I read and since I am an avid reader, it had taken me a few years before I understood that reading itself is not that beneficial if you want to use the language actively, but everybody learns differently.
PRS-650 German is not bad. But I prefer Langenscheidt dic to Collins. I downloaded the Moonreader and Ankidroid today. I will try them over the next weekend. Anki means "memorizing" in Japanese which is my mother tongue. Today I found that ezPDF is better than Mantano reader on the tablet. I am having a problem of selecting a word on Mantano but ezPDF is more comfortable in that respect. It also has better PDF rendering capability than Mantano. Colordict looks to have sometimes problems of reaching verbs' infinitive forms from their perfect tense forms. Eduardo's dictionary is much better in this respect.
