Some people won't travel without an electronic dictionary, while others don't understand why they'd spend much more money on one than a book would cost, even though the electronic device usually has fewer words than a printed dictionary and usually includes fewer definitions per word. Some include extra features such as electronic organizing, alarms, and calculators.
