"The definitions are better than other german dictionaries I've had, and so far has only failed me once (I forget the word, but the english definition didn't make sense something like "when the meat is too high"). It is also an excellent add-on dictionary for reading German newspapers or books."
"It makes looking. Up words from my German book so quick, and if I highlight words it saves the translation and I can have a ready made vocab list in seconds from searching my highlighted words."
"Someone will surely develop a functional comprehensive German dictionary that integrates well with Kindle."
"Very helpful with some aspects of my translation and language learning efforts."
"Aside from the predictable problem of looking up verbs with separable particles (can't remember what they're called), I often run into words for which there is no entry."
"I am a language learner and have several german dictionaries on my kindle."
"And although it appears in the content list in my Amazon account, it can't even be sent to my other listed device, a Paperwhite."
This is the fourth episode of the popular Baumgartner & Momsen mystery series for German learners.

"Simple sentence construction and the avoidance of difficult idioms makes for a productive read for me with 12 hrs college German 30 years ago."
"Naturally, at this level of language the stories can't be too involved, and I think that just the right balance between story level and language level was met very well."
"The story is cute and engaging, while the vocabulary list at the end of each mini-chapter facilitates reading the text and learning new works."
"The first time you read it will be a bit tough, but a second reading after a layoff will see you understanding it far better."
"When I am done with the book, I go over all the flashcards that I have made and then reread the whole book as fast as I can."

"It also does a decent job recognizing conjugated forms, and lists the most common phrases you might find the word in."
"Great for reading in German and being able to highlight a word and get the English."
"Bought this to read German text on the Kindle with rapid translation of words I did not understand."
"It had all but one noun (some kind of modern financial entity) I looked up in a recent interview with Paul Volcker in Die Zeit."
"The kindle isn't flexible enough to use this as a dictionary and read a book (flipping between the two would be painful), and since this didn't work as a primary dictionary it seems pretty useless. Edit: I leave the original rating because it did not work for the amazon book, but for the Calibre converted book, make sure the language in the mobi file's metadata is set to German, or else it will not use the right dictionary."
"Generally I do prefer a printed dictionary, but when reading on the Kindle it IS very nice to be able to touch a word and get the definition (I have a Paperwhite)."
"The HarperCollins German-English dictionary does not work with Kindle for the PC, but it works with Kindle Touch. When the HarperCollins dictionary lacks a word, the Duden German-German dictionary sometimes pops up instead, which is helpful."

"This Kindle edition includes a small Bible dictionary on biblical themes, too; although, it is not a long or complete as the one in my print Bible. There appear not to be many cross references, except that the usual scheme in the 1984 print editions is that the couple of references given are to lead you to other references that lead you to still more references. Navigation is different from the usual list of books with a list of hot-linked chapters at the opening page for each book. When I had finished all of the books of the Bible and the Apocrypha, I made a MS Word document with all of this information and mailed it to my Kindle e-mail address for loading onto my Kindle. The opening page of each book does not give chapters, but theme headings. I have found I can touch a word in this Bibel text and the on-board German to German dictionary on my Kindle brings up the usual information found in a dictionary, including the gender."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Und was hat das ganze mit einer kleinen Maus, einem Schmetterling und einem Drachen zu tun? Man fiebert mit mit Trip, weint mit Leo und drückt Merlo die Daumen (ach ja, ein paar Taschentücher könnten nicht schaden beim Lesen). Ich selbst habe mich in einigen Teilen (ich sage nicht, in welchen) wiedergefunden und, so wie schon der erste Band "Gefühlsbaustelle" mit Joél und Konstantin läßt einem das Ende nicht einfach ruhen. Ich habe das Buch nicht einfach zugeschlagen (ja ok, kindle zugeklappt) und beiseite gelegt. Wie bei vielen Büchern von Nathan erspart es vielleicht manche Frage an einen Psychotherapeuten, wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt, nicht nur von der schönen Liebesgeschichte zu schmunzeln sondern auch die etwas düstere Stimmung zuzulassen. Ich bin sicher, dass mir (wie schön öfters bei Nathan) bei einem erneuten Lesen eine andere Sichtweise mehr ins Auge springt. War es jetzt beim ersten Mal bei diesem Buch mehr das Düstere, aus der Vergangenheit kommende, so wird es wohl in ein paar Tagen beim 2. Lesen mehr die Liebesbeziehung sein, die in den Vordergrund des Lesens rückt. Ich kann nur sagen, Nathan hat sich zu einem meiner Lieblingsautoren entwickelt, deren Bücher definitiv nicht in die Schublade "Trivial-gay-Literatur" einzuordnen sind. Wer will, kann die Themen locker leicht lesen oder, wer nicht nur leichte Kost will, "schaltet" sein Hirn ein und liest zwischen den Zeilen und nimmt vielleicht auch etwas für sich und seinen eigenen Alltag mit. In uns allen steckt irgendwo ein Drachenmausschmetterling (um DAS zu verstehen, sollte beim Lesen doch mitgedacht werden... *rofl*). Danke Nathan für ein wunderbares Buch!"

She can shift between forms, even though it's not the most convenient of ways, but in human form she is still left with cute little wolf ears and a tail. This will not be the last time we see these two companies or the church, I'm sure. I think fantasy lovers would really enjoy this, and it would be a nice place to start if you want to get into light-novels and manga."
"Fans of the anime will love reading the original story and will gain a greater understanding of Lawrence & Holo. Paul Starr is doing an AMAZING job, this is by far one of the best translated light novels I have read to date, it perfectly captures the tone of the series."
"However, I try to review any book I read on my Kindle."
"For better or worse, I watched quite a few episodes of the anime before reading the light novel, a fact I now blame for my slow reading seeing as I already knew (and still know) what was going to happen. Still, while the anime remains relatively faithful to the light novel (a character is swapped for another), the latter is far more accomplished in portraying the relationship between Holo and Lawrence."

Everyone's experience will vary according to their mastery of the language, naturally, so I think it would be impossible to call it a one size fits all book."
"It is nice to have a recap of some key German words with definitions and a short quiz at the end of each section. In addition to this series helping with learning German words and vocabulary, I really enjoyed reading about the different cities and their characteristics, tourist sites, and things to do!"
"Thank you for allowing me to feel comfortable learning this language in an engaging and comical way."
"The German in this text is simple enough that if you have reached a slight stage past beginner, then you will find yourself actually reading a book in German, albeit with some words here and there that need to be learned, which the book does nicely at anticipating these words and providing translations to them."
"I found the stories just long enough to introduce a range of concepts and expressions. The sample of words chosen for explanation at the end of each is well thought out."
"Reading helps make sentence structure become second nature, and having a good German-English dictionary helps, too."
"I bought this to help my kids with the German language."
"This is a very good German language learning tool for the intermediate student."
