Thanks for the response.

The size bothers me a bit, too.  It's paperback-size instead of 
shirt-pocket-size...but at least it's not netbook-size.  And the screen 
looks gorgeous.

The dictionary model seems to come with the dictionary data on an SD 
card.  I hope there's some way to transfer that data to the internal 
storage unit permanently[*] and free up the SD slot.

My condolences on your loss.  I've tried to be gentle with my C3000, but 
after nearly six years of daily use, it's showing its age.

[*] I'm also interested in knowing how easy it is to replace the 
internal drive, which looks like it's a 4GB or 6GB Microdrive, and 
that's not much space at all.  (I've replaced the original 4GB 
Microdrive in my C3000 with a 32GB CF card.)
