DICTIONARIES
Very complete dictionary, thesarus and enciclopedia, with pronunciation examples and access to other sources. 
Fast downloadable dictionary to use on your PC without being online.

Great English-Spanish dictionary, excellent tool for writers or translators, with plenty of forums where you can consult or discuss meaning with colleagues. 
Meaning and origin of English idioms and Phrases. 
Utterly original tool; whenever you feel you know a word but you just keep a vague idea of its spelling or pronunciation, you can use this great tool to find it. 
Not a great Spanish dictionary, but one of the few ones that allow free access.
Good tool to check for the origin of English words. 

Fantastic tool (however asystematic) for those reading or using slang and colloquial English.

Well-known collection of e-books in the public domain.
