Kindle Version of ETBD 2014 on sale for $1.99

Hey Frank II, thanks for the heads-up. My paper copy is soooo old and I didn't have it on Kindle - but now I do.

Thanks for the heads up!

Wow! Still $1.99...

Don't know if I needed it, but I bought it ;-)

Thanks, Frank!

Just got it! Thanks Frank II!

And to those of you who have bought it- I have a Paperwhite Kindle, not a tablet. I'd found a non RS guidebook to be difficult for some of the navigation, and impossible for maps. Is ETBD good for a non-tablet Kindle?

Karen, if you are very familiar with RS' book layouts, meaning how the chapters are laid out, how he groups the info for each location (sites, museums, hotels, restaurants), etc., then it'll be fine. ETBD isn't his typical tour guidebook, but for $1.99 (if the price still holds - still $1.99 as of noon PST Mar 2) this is a cheap way to see if you Iike it. When I tried a free Kindle sample chapter years ago (on my Kindle), there were some quirks - maps couldn't be expanded, links didn't work, etc. I liked the guidebook just fine once I bought the entire thing - maps expanded/zoomed, links worked very well, etc. You do have to play with it a bit to learn how it works, like most E-books. I don't think the 'Touch' feature allows for 'pinch-and-expand' maneuvering (of maps) but I may be wrong. The 'Page Flip' feature sounds great for skimming through the pages of the book!

Edit: After playing with it on my iPad and my Kindle at the same time, I think you'll be OK with the E-book on your Kindle. The page layouts are a bit nicer on the color Kindle apps though. Maps aren't great on the Kindle...but OK.

Just grabbed it at 4:30pm Eastern time. Looks fine on my iPad. Can't beat the price.

The offer is still out there. I just downloaded it for my "Traveling Tablet" and my laptop. I have already purchased the City Guides and this will be a perfect compliment to those. Thanks for the heads up!

Got it!

(Did you know there's a minimum amount of 10 characters required for a reply? Just "Got it!" didn't do it!)

Thanks Frank.

Thanks for the alert, Frank!

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks, Frank. Got it at 8:10 p.m. PST 3/3/14.

Awesome! I got mine. Thanks Frank.

Wed at 11:30 a.m. eastern-price still good and I grabbed it. I have the paper version from a year ago, but this way I will always have it on my Kindle as a reference, since I don't travel with it as a book.

Ohhhhh coool!!! Thanks Frank!

thanks for the heads up!

Still available on Amazon.

Still available on Amazon.

I have resisted this until now. It's on my Kindle. lol

I broke down and used it to 'baptize' my brand new iPad Mini... woo hoo!!! :-)

Thanks Frank!

Thanks a bunch! I just downloaded it onto my laptop Kindle!!!!

Thanks! Wasn't really considering this, but now I look forward to skimming it (or reading the whole thing? who knows?) before an upcoming trip, and having it on my Kindle when we go. :)

Got it. THANK you for the heads up!

Thank you. Got it today

I just bought a digital edition of ETBD 2013 for $0.01. It was worth jumping thru the hoops registering a couple of places to download the book onto my iPad. The 2014 version is no longer 2 bucks.

Thanks I just bought it. I also have the Italy guide from a trip to Italy last year. I will agree that it is hard to navigate the kindle version - but for the price -
I say a big
Thank You.
