I still prefer the paper dictionary over any other electronic dictionary for studying.. I still don't own an electronic dictionary no matter how my japanese friend convince me that it was convenient.
I love those big dictionary, I think it was Kodansha, where every character has a history , not only will I learn the character itself but I get also to learn how to write it properly as well as its story
