Wish I had a pic, but I've been seeing them in bookstores since ~age 8 (1993), which is as far back as I can remember going to a bookstore.
But this is Asia, so maybe things are different.

I still have those huge and thick dictionaries, all of them stacked up will be higher than me, not to mention 3 different versions of complete encyclopedias.
Books are still awesome.
Proin Drakenzol:
I saw them shits in fucking elementary school
They've been around damn near forever.
FYI, many devices just incorporate the function, such as PDAs, smart-phones and e-Book Readers
Lupin:
The statement still holds: Japanese Tech >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> American Tech
fohfoh:
I did a quick google, it says the first electronic dictionaries came out in about 1988. But those things are STILL smaller than a dictionary. They're good for traveling I guess or portable "translations".
But yeah, nowadays, you can load a program of that shit onto a PDA or something. These things are just getting cheaper and cheaper because there's no longer a need for them.
