Boy if I knew school could have been so much fun, I wouldn’t have thrown all those daily tantrums as a kid. Just check out the new Merriam-Webster(R) Dictionary which also has a MP3 Player. The MWD-480 has a bonafied mp3 player which supports audio books, podcasts, and of course music. So this means no more carrying that bulky dictionary everywhere and all the information and may I add fun is right at your fingertips!

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary & MP3 Player from Franklin has 274,000 definitions in its database and includes some great functions which will help in improving an individual’s vocabulary.
