Updated January 10, 2015. (Added THOUSANDS of links for better navigation)Includes Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary and a fully illustrated biography of Noah Webster.This edition includes ALL the original over 70,000 entries with over 71,000 links to make navigating and finding words much easier.We have painstakingly navigated through all the words and sectioned them into chunks with additional links to each section.Noah realized that England and the new United States had different forms of government, institutions, customs and laws. Because of this, he believed that they needed different vocabularies. He also knew that science and technology were developing rapidly, and new words were being introduced just as quickly. So, he spent over 25 years researching words and their origins and writing the first American dictionary. This dictionary helped Americans to feel pride in their new country, and enabled everyone across the new nation to have a standard vocabulary.Webster's greatest achievement was the dictionary. In 1800 he published his intentions of writing a dictionary. He published a shortened, concise but comprehensive, version in 1806. The final version was finished in 1825 and published in 1828. It contained 70,000 words. It is no exaggeration to say that it was immediately accepted as the greatest dictionary of the English language on both sides of the Atlantic. Webster had an absolute genius for defining words.

The dictionary itself easily deserves 5 stars. I can't believe the 1828 dictionary isn't a household name. A sign of the times, I suppose. This Kindle edition seems like it was put together well but for some reason the search index, when used with my Kindle Paperwhite, doesn't work. It does work using 's desktop app but I do most of my digital reading on my Kindle so this ebook is, at the moment, somewhat useless to me. I did speak with the publisher and he was good enough to promise to make efforts to see if the problem is unique to my own device or if it applies to all Paperwhites and act accordingly. I will report with any updates. One thing that I REALLY wanted was an Integrable dictionary that works with the Kindle and so decided to ask the publisher about this. He explained he too wanted to do this but doesn't allow for anyone to create integrated dictionaries for the Kindle. I rattled my brain thinking how I might be able to find enough people who would love to have Noah's 1828 dictionary used in much of their Kindle reading and, perhaps, to petition to reevaluate this policy and allow alternate dictionaries used for their e-reader. After giving it much thought I realized it would be wiser and more efficient if I let the readers come to me and voice with their fingers. If you want to see an Integrated 1828 dictionary for the Kindle then PLEASE "like" this review and let know that you want them to allow users to choose which dictionary they prefer. While I think their should be certain standards for what is considered an acceptable dictionary, Noah's 1828 dictionary more than qualifies and puts modern dictionaries to shame.
