Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory drops, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.(Posted by NetBlog for R4i Nintendo DS.)

Well, anyway, I was asking if the second editionis much shorter than the first edition, because everyone dies about 10+ pages earlier. Say, if I went to a bookstore and sought for BR, how would I know if it was the second edition? By the publishing date? -Sennyo Crap, I commented in the link you gave, not really thinking about whether that site belonged to you or not.

The reason being is, that although Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten is great, but you'll quickly get frustrated with how limiting it is.For example, for Japanese --> English, the DS Kanji Dictionary has only 1 dictionary with around 80,000 words. In comparison, the Casio Ex-word has THREE dictionaries with a collective total of ~1.6 million words. Yes. 1.6 million. For English --> Japanese, the Casio has an even bigger set because this electronic dictionary is targetted to Japanese people learning English. So even though $130 extra for an electronic dictionary might seem a bit over-the-top, you really are getting your money's worth :)One thing I've found really frustrating about the DS Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten is, that it doesn't have city names. If you write in the kanji for "Tokyo," it won't come back with anything. With the Casio though, it's not a problem. Also, things like yojijukugo (four kanji idioms) are no where to be found in the DS game.

I bought Nintendo DSi with that purpose, use Japanese dictionary, but I never found this game. Could you tell me where you bought Kanji no Sonomama? Can I buy from DSi Shop?! I'll appreciate if you answer this message by e-mail!Thank you very much! Hello!

It is kind of nice knowing that everyone your interacting with is actually a mosso customer. It also allows them to be more support oriented in their forums. While slicehosts is more just for the community. Two slightly different approaches that both have positives and negatives. So I joined the forums and now have to retract my earlier statement.
