Essential for reading French as a second language on kindle, in spite of flaws.
By Ed Pizzi
The reviews already posted here are largely exact -- the translations supplied by this dictionary are short and not as finish as you'd suppose from a real French-English dictionary. However more spectacular dictionaries distinctively cost more than this anyway, so I don't think this must surprise anyone. Also, numerous forms of words that are in the dictionary will not be recognized by the dictionary in the auto-lookup default dictionary mode (including irregular conjugations and words preceded by l' (eg. l'ombre, as one reviewer pointed out).

Works fine as default dictionary
By HPaul
The former commenter is mistaken. This French-English dictionary is without apparent effort installed as the default dictionary on the Kindle 2, by following the simple directions in chapter 7 of the guide. It only takes a few seconds. (He may have tried in on the Kindle 1.) I've been waiting almost a year to find a F-E dictionary that would work as a default on the Kindle, and it's great that one is at long last available. I'm giving this five stars to counteract the mistaken rating of the primary reviewer; but it would in any case rate 4 stars. Although it's no "Robert," it works automatically, it recognizes respective forms of verbs, and the definitions are clear. There are even use examples. So don't hesitate. This is worth much more than the 6 bucks, and as far as I may see it's the only working F-E dictionary for the Kindle.
