Sorry, no experience with a EPPocket reader. But while you wait for an answer on that, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents on some of the things you mentioned: - How is reading on the rather small iPo...

@Katsuo Yeah, I think I'm on the same page as you. Monokakido just seems like they put a little more polish on their interface and I think I'll probably snag the Wisdom even if the others may have a ...

@liosama Yeah, I think it might primarily use simplified since mainland China is kinda the big kid on the "Chinese" block. I know for sure it's Mandarin cuz I asked a Chinese co-worker who moved here...

I have not heard of EPWING or EBPocket (for iPhone), maybe someone could clarify what they are and what they do? You get free access to all kinds of dictionaries? Is this something that I could use ...

Just got it for Christmas after taking like a 15 year break from RTS games. Anyone here ever play Dune for the Sega Genesis? Man, that was a great game. I've been doing more console gaming in the l...

Post: I'm so bad at particles

I like Naoko Chino's "All About Particles" as well. Particles are still difficult, but it's a great reference book and found the comparisons between は and が useful. Plus I like that it was laid out ...

Post: Daijirin/Daijisen iPhone apps VS Canon Wordtank

I did quite a bit of research between 大辞林(daijirin) and 大辞泉(daijisen) and decided to get 大辞林. It sounds like 大辞泉 actually had more search results (I found a site that showed a search for おばま(obama) a...

I've had a Canon Wordtank V80 for awhile and was wondering if anyone out there has used it as well as the iPhone apps Daijirin or Daijisen? If so, any input on the matter? Anything you feel you mis...
