Amazon takes a week or more to put up the description on the Kindle page. I'll see what I can do about making the description on both longer. Alan,

Thanks for the great comment and for the 5-star review! Amazon takes a week or more to put up the description on the Kindle page. I’ll see what I can do about making the description on both longer.

However, there is no product description on the Amazon Kindle page. There is a very short description on the paperback page. Almost the entirity of the book's web page would be suitable for a product description. This is a very enjoyable read, not something that I can typically say about technical ebooks.

For instance many people, often don't give you enough credit for your advising clients on a responsible price for their content. But here is my question, I and some others have called for foreign language support on the Kindle. So far Harrap's was the only dictionary that I have seen. Would you consider working on some foreign language dictionary support? I mean a dictionary that could sub for the new oxford default if a person chooses to, with full look up functionality.

I am hoping to review it here soon and (more briefly) in my Kindle Nation newsletter Monday.
