I have the following preferences:
- it must be available on amazon - preferably with hanja - exemple sentences would be good - comprehensive (not small pocket version) - it can be Korean-Korean or Korean - English (and English- Korean), since there is no Korean- Polish one (I have seen one for Koreans who learn Polish, but I think you can buy it only if you live in Korea) I was thinking about Collins dictionary, as I have one for Chinese already, but I have seen that it's less comprehensive - only 400 pages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I use online dictionaries almost exclusively now, but I still love my Minjung Essence K-E dictionary. It meets all the requirements that you listed above (including Hanja and example sentences) and is available in Korean to English and English to Korean versions (though I only have the former). I will warn you that they aren't cheap, though. Here is the exact one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Essence-Korean-English-Dictionary-Amer ican-Edition/dp/1565911288

I own a Korean-English Minjung Essence dictionary, and I'll second Warp3 in his recommendation. Quite large, the layout is fine and it contains hanja...
