THX for your help


So I decided to buy a commercial dictionary...
The free ones are OK (Wordnet-DICT was my favorite), but if you need to find all and not just basic forms, you do need to buy one.

My choice finally was "LONGMAN Dictionary of Contemporary English 5th edition" which has a very reasonable price + FREE Thesaurus and Collocations Dictionary.

Works like a charm and finds each and everything... *YIPPIEH*

Note: Pronunciation is shown in a very small size (not really readable), but I don't need this + some colored text is shown in a very light grey.

BTW: One still can't find things like "top hat", "white collar crime" and the like... But that would need changes in the CyBook software (the possibility to mark more then just 1 word).
