It is also slim enough to be used as a bookmark which is a great feature because its duel capabilities.

The first thing you will notice about the product once getting through the packaging is how sleek it is. Lightweight but long enough to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand it is easy to work with and a breeze to learn to use. The device is so thin that you can use as a bookmark and accessible you come along descriptive words that you may not be 100% familiar with. Another thing for spelling-challenged folks like myself is the fact that it has a built in spell-check if you accidentally mistype a word.

You will need to open up the handy instruction guide in order to get the functions like the clock and date set but other than that the device was pretty intuitive .Once set up, you can use the cool features that display daily historical news and birthdays which can create good conversions. Also on the device is a function where you can store names and numbers for associates while also using the calculate feature if you need to solve a mathematical problem.

I wanted to gather feedback from my father, who is reads the New York Times daily, to see what he thought about the gadget. He is always a tough person to buy a Christmas present for and wanted to hear his thoughts. He told me that he had wanted something like this for 50 years and recounted countless times that he had wished that he had something like this for a quick look-up of words. Looks like I can finally find a Holiday gift that he can appreciate this year instead of the annual question of where he could return the item.
