Zelco Bookmark Dictionary, Graphite

Amazon.com Review

James Joyce and Thomas Pynchon won't seem quite so intimidating with a Zelco bookmark dictionary on hand. This clever little item, which is thin enough to serve as a bookmark for either hardcover or paperback books, has a memory of 50,000 words. It lets you define a book's most voracious vocabulary on the spot. The graphite-colored bookmark also functions as a programmable alarm clock (perfect during class!) and calculator, making it a terrific item for students or professionals. <I>--Rivers Janssen</I>

Don't Bother.......2004-01-29

This is a great idea but it's poorly executed. There are no words in the dictionary. Everything we tried to look up was not in it.

Zelco Bookmark Dictionary.......2004-01-09

Beware! The contrast between background and letters is very poor. This makes it difficult to read the words on the screen. I feel this is a manufacturing flaw. Please try to use one before purchasing. Company (Zelco) does not accept returns, even from their retailers.

Nice idea, but a poorly designed product.......2003-12-05

Being an avid reader I was really excited when I found this, but the following features were far too annoying to continue using it: It is top heavy so it constantly falls out of the book losing my page; I think it needed to be narrower and longer to hold it in place. It beeps every time you press a button, annoying anyone nearby. Many words I looked up in it were not in there. Scrolling to read the entire entry is cumbersome. The buttons are so close it is a little difficult to press only one letter. When using the timer you always have to type in the entire time and date for when you want the alarm to go off; you can't just have it go off in a half an hour. I think this bookmark dictionary was a great idea, but a poorly designed product.

Some words I did not find in the dictionary: spoonerism, polygot, clemency, eschew, equivocate, stasis, forfend, alacrity, skulk.
