( I am sorry because my topic is not well categorized, but I can't find the better room for it. )
I am a student in Viet Nam. My major is English. I and all of my friends really want to buy an e-dictionary of Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary( 7th edition). In my country, they just sell the book but not the e-dictionary.
I think you kknow how hard and waste of time it is to look up new words in a dictionary book. But not loooking for just a word, there are hundreds word in our lesson, for example, in a literature.So I will be happy if I can order an ebook via the internet, or just tell me how to get it.
THANKS REALLY MUCH IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME.

I really thanks for your help. But there is something making me confused. Is this an e-dictionary, I mean a small machine that we can carry with us?
When I read this website,the ebook seems just to be read by the MObile pocket programme, a programme in our PC.
I want to buy an e-dictionay, which is portable. This is a picture of it.

So if you have time, can you explain how your dictionary works? Is it right that we just can use it in our computer?
I want to buy a machine like the above picture, and it have to be an oxford advanced learner's dictionary, not Longman or any other branch.

I am not having much luck finding what you are looking for. This is the closest I have gotten:

electronic dictionary | PW-E550 (http://www.sharpusa.com/products/ModelLanding/0,1058,1395,00.html)

I will still try to look around a bit for you.

Seiko makes handheld dictionaries (http://www.askoxford.com/shoponline/lp/seiko/?view=) based on Concise Oxford but I haven't found anyone who makes a stand-alone handheld with the version you want.

Also, if you must have the Advanced Learner's edition, Mobipocket provides an e-book version (http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/eBookDetails.asp?BookID=56162) of this version of the Oxford Dictionary. You can read it on any PDA with their Mobipocket reader.
