I'm all in favour of 'better' dictionaries, but this one was a step too far for me.
I hear you. I have the Littré as an alternative French dictionary, which I renamed as Portuguese in the devices. It can go to a 2 digit number of pages, is a pleasure to browse through sometimes, but hundreds of pages would definitely be too much. It is only 36 Mb, so opens as quickly as the other dictionaries.
