3.0 out of 5 stars
Could have been so much better if LP gave it a little more effort,
By MTL (Burlington, VT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Russia: Moscow (Kindle Edition)
This review is about the Kindle edition. I use my Kindle a lot and am thrilled LP has a bunch of books available, both country guides (like LP Turkey, Russia...) and city guides (like LP Istanbul, Moscow...) However, I must say that LP is doing a half-assed job with the city guides. Why? Because they're not proper city guides. One would expect a city guide to have more detail about the city than a country guide. However, LP's Kindle city guides are just the chapter of the city that's covered in the country guide. so it's not the kind of in-depth info one finds in LP's own paper city guide. It's adequate information, but a let-down compared to what LP sells in print. ON top of that, LP lazily copied all the introduction stuff from the country guide into the so-called city guide. Lots of information I don;t need, plus several pages with itineraries for the whole country, covering sights and destinations that are not even covered in the city guide. And an index that doesn't work (not hyper-linked). This is what I mean- half-assed. LP has the content available- why don't they transfer it to Kindle format? Instead, they're doing this lazy copy-paste job that leaves much to be desired. I have the LP Moscow print edition and wanted to replace it by the Kindle edition- but that has so much less information that i returned it and used my paper version instead. Frustrating and unnecessary. |
