Product Reviews:

 Rating 4   Very useful reference.
Still a valuable reference. It was imcluded on my required book list when I was a college freshman over 50 years ago and I continue to use it (in updated editions) to this day.

 Rating 4   Merriam-Webster Dictionary 11th Edition
I would give this dictionary a "5" (highest) rating except it is 2003 edition. We need a NEW Mirriam-Webster Collegiate! I hope one is on its way. The M-W is very good for its size. I can find most words I need in it. When a word is not in it, I go to my much heavier American Heritage Dictionary. Of course you can Google a word for the correct spelling now, but that means you must be at a computer. I like a dictionary at my fingertips. I live alone and often read while eating. I keep a small American Oxford Dictionary on the table for use there, but the M-W is the one I use the most.

 Rating 3   I wish it had tabs
What can I say? It's a dictionary. It defines words. It performs as advertised. My only gripe is that it doesn't have alphabetized tabs for quick referencing. So, trying to start your search in the proper place is a shot in the dark, which is a bit annoying.

 Rating 3   it's a dictionary
it serves its purpose. i think i prefer oxford over M-W. Oxford gives definitions and examples based on the most common usage of the word. Webster traditionally gives it by historical precedence. You may find yourself using an dated definition for a word in public and feel silly after word.

 Rating 3   Amazon Dumped the doggie doo
It helps not when Amazon combines the reviews from Printed edition and the Kindle edition. It makes no sense. Of course a Dictionary on kindle that you can not use because all the things that you would expect on a computer are not there.
