The World’s Cheapest Destinations on Kindle
May 12th, 2009 Posted in Leffel projects, Travel bargains, Travel books
I have no intention of shelling out the price of a really good digital camera, a netbook, or an iPhone to buy a Kindle, but if you feel otherwise and have one, you can now get The World’s Cheapest Destinations for a mere $7.17 at Amazon.
Despite all the traveling I do I have only seen one person using a Kindle on an airplane (and one using the Sony version), which tells me we are a long way off from e-book readers becoming mainstream. The price is going to have to come down a long way, in my opinion. If the average book is $15, you could buy 70 books for the price of a Kindle. I don’t know about you, but it’s going to take me quite a few years to get through 70 books. And those don’t need recharging.
If you want to get a plain old PDF e-book that doesn’t require a proprietary reading device, you can download that at my publisher’s site for $7.95. You can read it on a netbook, a laptop, your iPhone, your desktop, your Sony PSP game player, and on and on.
Back to Amazon though, if you want some cheap legal downloads, right now they are running a $5 download sale

Not to mention that with the money you spend for a Kindle you can probably enjoy a few weeks in most of the destinations suggested in the book…
