Reddit reviews Merriam-Webster's French-English Translation Dictionary, Kindle Edition (French Edition)

I have the Merriam-Webster's French-English Translation Dictionary, Kindle Edition. It is pretty fantastic, although I have found it isn't quite as comprehensive as it could be.

Yep, the kindle contains an english dictionary (move the cursor over the text the definition is loaded automatically), this one should work in the same way for eng/fra http://www.amazon.com/Merriam-Websters-French-English-Translation-Dictionary-ebook/dp/B002ROKQU6/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1313429826&sr=1-1

Edit: about the non-efficient, i'd say is way better than using a real/web dictionary, everything is on the device, you just need to move the cursor.

I have used M-W, which was quite reasonable, and [Barron's] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DMJDTG) which was comparable to M-W both in quality of definitions and in overall depth.

Both of the FR-EN dictionaries suffered from an inability to parse contractions ( e.g. l'eau ), making them useless for any contracted word. That was at least a couple years ago and I would hope it was resolved, as it was extremely annoying. The product should never have shipped with a bug that big.

My favorite kindle dictionary is Dixel - Le Robert. It's not French-English, only French, but has great definitions and great depth, and always finds the right word, even when contracted or using a rare conjugation. It can be difficult to get onto a kindle depending on where you live. That said, it's a superb French dictionary for the kindle.
