The book doesn't have a search engine of its own; so you have to use the Kindle search function. So when you look up a word; it finds not only the listing for that word; but every instance of it throughout the book. Then again; it was only $10; so I probably shouldn't complain. Oh yes; this edition handles Pali characters with their sometimes oddball diacritical marks pretty well; i.e. it's quite readable; unlike the epub edition I had briefly a few months ago -- that other company did refund my money though.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Poor ProofreadingBy UpasakaAlthough this product provides clear; concise descriptions of 2000 topics; there are constant; egregious errors in the transliteration of Sanskrit and Pali terms. These errors occur even in the headwords of some entries; rendering a search for the correct term impossible. Some of the errors are simply unpronounceable; and so one is almost forced to ask if this work was proofread by a qualified person. This is not the standard I have come to expect from Oxford Dictionaries. I would rather have ordered the bound edition at four times the price.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The few illustrations are of shockingly poor quality; and ought be expungedBy F. Stuart SmithThis is a handy little desk reference volume; convenient for writers touching on Buddhist subjects. The few illustrations are of shockingly poor quality; and ought be expunged. From Oxford University Press; one would normally expect greater attention to typography; stock; and binding. The present volume is; indeed; only a minimal improvement over Shambhala's "Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen."
