We recently went to a few places in Europe. September-October is really the best time to visit Europe. Rather than taking paper travel guides, I loaded travel guides on my new Kindle. In many respects the electronic guides were similar to paper guides: same maps, directions and description of attractions. However the Kindle had four clear advantages:
1. The Kindle is lighter.
2. The Kindle connected to internet anywhere for free.
3. I didn’t have to read the articles myself. The Kindle was reading to me while I was walking around.
4. The travel guides are cheaper for the Kindle
Let me emphasize the #2 and #3. This free connection really makes a lot of sense. I was able to locate my hotel on Google maps and select a restaurant based on TripAdvisor reviews.
For #3 I used the speaker on the back of the Kindle. The sound was crystal clear.
For Amsterdam I actually loaded two guides: Amsterdam Sights and Travel Amsterdam. Amsterdam Sights was shorter and cheaper. It focused on sights and did not have any information on restaurants and hotels. But who cares for restaurants and hotels if you have Kindle and TripAdvisor? I actually preferred Amsterdam Sight, and for the Greek islands I have loaded the Mobi Sights series.
Overall I had very pleasant experience traveling with my Kindle!

|Good stuff!,
Very well designed for electronic readers and full of information. Add GPS to your system and you can’t go wrong. Does not eliminate the need for more detailed information, but great for “carry-along” information.
