I'm going to buy a kanji-dictionary soon, but I would like some advice on which one is better and user-friendly.
In class we used the dictionaries from Nelson and Kodansha.
Nelson :
Amazon.com: The New Nelson Japanese-English Character Dictionary (9780804820363): Andrew N. Nelson, John H. Haig: Books
This dictionary is from '97 and has more technical kanji
Kodansha :
The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (Kodansha Dictionaries): Jack Halpern: 9784770023353: Amazon.com: Books
This dictionary is from '99
I think it's more user-friendly and even shows how to write kanji.
Personally I'm thinking of getting the Kodansha dictionary, but on the other hand, the Nelson has more information and for translating more technical texts it might be better.But then, I'm no translator so I think the Kodansha would do.
What do you think is best? What are your opinions on both dictionaries?
Any better ones on the market ?
edit:
Just found this one, also from Kodansha and it's from 2002
