"Also good" is still much worse than "best." I know, I was a Merriam-Webster user before my Kindle 4 introduced me to the Oxford dictionary and I went with that.
Also, which reader do you want to recommend me with a built-in Merriam-Webster dictionary? Probably none.
Merriam-Webster has practically zero coverage of my esoteric definitions Oxford covers me pretty well.
If you are a long term Merriam-Webster user you may have noticed many "loops" in their definitions, they explain a noun with the verb form of that word, then the verb with the noon, you won't find out the meaning from Merriam-Webster, which is pretty lame. Oxford at least is consistently one-way with this.
