Subject:Rights to Wehr

Intellectual Property is, definitely, not a public domain. The  
publishers
of the Dictionary have the option to contract a digital dictionary  
maker,
and authorize a handheld. Or, a digital dictionary maker may buy
the rights from Wehr publishers, to digitize the dictionary and sell it
as a CD and/or a handheld. Some models may have sound too!

On Amazon, you may find:

If there is funding for such a project, it would be great. If a  
commercial
entity to do that, they would study the feasibility of making money
and not lose on their investment, for being a good citizen!

We do carry a long line of Electronic, Talking, Digital, Handheld

are updated, the other are discontinued. Many discontinued items,
sometimes, are great products, but, do not sell or warrant additional
production of newer models! www.aramedia.com/dictionaries.htm
