A unique metadictionary containing approximately 1,000 words and their definitions culled from over 700 foreign languages (e.g., Japanese), with the intention of introducing them as neologisms into the English language. Hilarious and shocking, the concepts say much about their native cultures—but equally much about English, which shunned them for one reason or another.

An e-book is a book that you can read on your computer or PDA screen by scrolling through the pages. The book is formatted to look like a regular book—with text, images, footnotes, etc.—but it exists as a weightless computer file. And it has other advantages: An E-book makes content available at the click of your computer's mouse—often content unavailable in paper form. Also, an e-book never wears out. Every word of it is searchable, and it often includes cross-links that allow you to jump around the book. Moreover, there is no shipping charge, no trip to the bookstore, no waiting in line, and no snide comment by the retail clerk. And best of all: Japanorama's e-books are unique and inexpensive.
