   Prefered Fodor’s…, January 13, 2011

   I purchased this book together with Fodor’s Florida 2011 for my recent trip to FL. It turned out that Fodor’s was much more useful. I learned from Fodor’s more than from LP on average, and I like that Fodor’s book is more colorful. Maybe LP is more useful if you want to cut down expenditures, which was not my case. For a trip to China or Algeria, I always buy LP if I bring only one book, but for a more relaxing trip to some rich country/states, I don’t see the typical dominance by LP in terms of quality/quantity of information…

   I always used to buy these Lonely Planet guides to every place I go! Although I have to say that the internet is a great source to complement it mainly related to searching for hotels and hot spots.

   I am normally a big fan of Lonely Planet, but not on the Kindle. I thought it would be nice to not have to carry around a big book. But forget buying this or any guide book on the kindle. First, the maps are almost impossible to read so they are basically worthless, even when you enlarge them. Second, it’s really hard to flip around in the book on the kindle, like you would normally do in a guide book, so you’re stuck with how the authors have organized your trip. Basically the whole experience sucked. When I accessed the book on my Ipod touch it was a little better and maybe the electronic version works better for the ipad (I don’t have one yet). In summary, I’ll never buy another guide book for the kindle.
