Just a quibble: It's actually The Oxford Dictionary of English. The Oxford English Dictionary is a separate title -- it's the massive, storied collection that comes in multiple volumes and has a fascinating history, as seen in the recent movie The Professor and the Madman (and the book it was made from).
The Oxford Dictionary of English is a fine volume, infinitely better than the previous Kobo offering. I recommend it highly. I particularly value the word etymologies, but in any case, though it's smaller than the gigantic OED, it's a gem. I have several Kindles and like the Kobo dictionary better than the Kindle offering.
