Summary: 4 Stars
It's a good and convenient product for my Franklin SCD-1870. However, it would be better if it had come with some type of back cover/case for the cartridge for when it's not installed in the SCD-1870. Having back covers/cases for the cartridges would prevent scratches or dirt from getting on the exposed contacts when lugging them around while traveling (we're not even supposed to touch the metal contacts with our statically charged fingers).
I have the (speaking) Spanish, Italian, and German (has the best features & tool of these 3) dictionary bookmans, at $19.99 each. I first purchased the German dictionary from J&R with $5.99 shipping and handling; I then later purchased the Italian and the Spanish (which has an annoying tiny & not expandable read screen) dictionaries from AimHi (of IL) and didn't have to pay any shipping and handling (received them on the 3rd day after placing the order). So, the "good-gadget" factor was even greater than the first purchase.

The entries are culled from Pons Worterbuch für Schule und Studium, one of the most respected German-English dictionaries available.
To use the advanced verb conjugation feature, the user merely enters the verb and tense in one language (e.g., "I learn"), after which the DBD-3040 determines the correlating phrase in the other ("Ich lerne"). The device even corrects for irregular conjugations, so you don't end up with a confusing, mismatched phrase that will stop a German reader in his or her tracks. Add in a grammar guide--which offers a ton of essential information on German grammar rules--and a phonetic spell checker and you have a terrific sidekick for your German language instruction.
