My Greek Lexicon (Liddell and Scott) and my Lewis and Short Latin Dictionary cost me around $300. The apps for them that I found the other day, which contain the digital versions of the dictionaries and are easily searchable? $4 each!
I just bought the paper version (2nd ed) of the Oxford Latin Dictionary. There is no app version of it yet, otherwise I would have saved my money. I have to admit that I sometimes prefer the paper versions of dictionaries when working at home, but the digital versions are extremely convenient when I am out and about, not to mention often economical.
