Indispensable and handy reference tool
I use this together with Laurence Urdang and Nancy Laroche’s “Synonym Finder,” and keep versions on my kindle and laptop.The other work provides more synonyms in most cases, and you scroll down through various contexts in which the researched word turns up.This thesaurus is great, though, for having as well, headings for: synonyms, near antonyms, related words.As well, each entry gives the part of speech for the word, and a reference to a labelled context. For example, the word “gossip” (n) will give a list of synonyms and related words and refer us to “chat” and “rumour”.It’s a little different from Roget’s, using which one can, as well, trace for the meaning of a word “on the tip of your tongue” via very general categories and concepts of the meaning. But frankly, I’ve always found that method a little cumbersome anyway. In a digital format, it’s far more convenient just to search for various words.

A very useful book
I have several thesauri/synonym finders in my library, but when I need a quick search for a word I reach for the Merriam-Webster’s Collgiate Thesaurus. I love how easy it is to use with its alphabetical order and the definition of the word included. Listed words not only have synonyms but also have usage examples along with, antonyms and related words. Megahelpful and reasonably priced.

Excellent searchable thesaurus for Kindle
This thesaurus, unlike some of the other thesauri available for Kindle, is fully searchable. The search feature works in much the same way as the default dictionary, and I think it’s well worth the reasonable price.The entries are comprehensive with many Synonyms and Related Words provided, as well as Antonyms and Near Antonyms.I won’t compare this thesaurus to other thesauri in print version, but I will say that it’s the best thesaurus for Kindle at the time of writing this review. Roget’s Super Thesaurus (Kindle Edition), for example, has excellent entries with long lists of synonyms, however it is not searchable and the format appears somewhat cluttered when viewed on the Kindle.After reading through various user reviews and testing sample content, I finally had narrowed down my choice to either Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Thesaurus or WordNet 3 (largest English dictionary and thesaurus). However by comparing the sample content my decision quickly became obvious. WordNet 3 is also searchable and has the added advantage of making all Synonyms links to their main entries. However, it has very lack-lustre lists of Synonyms, and according to some of the other reader reviews, relatively common words missing entirely.At any rate I am pleased with this thesaurus and would happily recommend to anybody who is looking for a thesaurus on their Kindle.

On my Paper White , I can move between the Thesaurus and Dictionary without leaving the popup window . At the bottom of the pop up definition window is an arrow to dictionary selection . This takes us to choices of dictionaries or this thesaurus by selecting a new reference book and I can select back to dictionary in the same popup .Unfortunately no link to the thesaurus to open the book .Also Main Word Categories within the Thesaurus is hyperlinked within the word were examining .I have tried the Collins thesaurus +dictionary , didn’t like the layout script too large . and the American Roget’s Thesaurus ,but it is neither hyperlinked or swappable , though the layout is good . Still this M & W also has a much better range of synonyms and antonyms along with a very brief definition of the word and layout is excellent .Incredibly its taken quite some time to local a usable thesaurus .
