5.0 out of 5 stars best guide book written, March 27, 2008

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hawaii (Mass Market Paperback)

my husband and I are planning our first trip to Honolulu, so I purchased 8 books to read and compare notes. I found this book to be the most helpful. It mentions places to visit none of the others did. A place called the Toilet bowl, is a local swimming hole hangout, that most people don't know about. This book is the only one that mentioned it of the 8. I know I will be taking only two books with me, this one and Oahu revealed. Don't waste your money on any others

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hawaii (Kindle Edition)

I bought this book for the Kindle. The premise is very good in that different itineraries are provided for different kinds of travelers (kid-friendly, honeymoon etc).

However, because of the terribly formatting of the book for the Kindle, it is very hard to read as an ebook. Ebooks should be easily navigated with links because turning the book page by page is very tedious.
