Not that I need any more apps on my PPC (I'm one of the >20 guys), and not that I don't already know everything, but...

The Columbia Encyclopedia isn't listed separately, but only as part of the full bundle -- is it not on sale by itself?

No, it's not, sorry. But you do get the other 2 apps when you buy the bundle. If there's enough interest in Columbia on its own please private message me and I'll see what I can do. Thanks.

I's listed seperately on the Buy page of the encyclopedia:

But for that price you could as well buy the bundle.

Lextionary is a fantastic dictionary. Very intuitive in use. Well worth buying.

Thanks for the great deal! I didn't need another dictionary, but was happy to get the two encyclopedias. Now I need a bigger CF card for the full Wikipedia database!

Lexionary is really just a PPC face on (appparently a subset of) the free Princeton WordNet 2.0 database. There's a free alternative that preserves all the capability of the desktop/web version of WordNet 2.1. WordNetCE even uses the full WordNet database set, which does take up a lot of space. After playing with Lexionary for a while, I find it more confusing than WNCE. It does require a lot less room, though, which probably means that they use a subset of the original database. Limited testing seems to bear that out.

That said, the price is still great for just the two encyclopedias.
