Amazon's Kindle: Where are all the guidebooks? {Gadling}
Jul 2nd 2008 11:52PM This is something I've wondered several times before:

It seems like a perfect application -- especially if they could make them hyper-linked within the guidebook. (Click on a particular city, an item on the map, etc. to get taken to a new page.) It would make it much richer and smaller than a traditional guidebook. If implemented correctly, it could also periodically update itself and allow travelers to add comments to each destination that could be accessed through the guidebooks. There don't seem to be any technical limitations on this -- just legal and business challenges.
As someone who loves reading, travel, and technology, I hope we will see this soon.
