poorly transferred to Kindle format

Index doesn’t have either page numbers OR links, useless! Photos seem stuck in at random and text sometimes gets lost around the photos, or the caption is duplicated.

This is a fairly good guidebook to the island, logically arranged so that it's easy to read up on the section of the island you're staying in. I have a couple quibbles as I found some of the information already outdated (prices changed, some places no longer in business, etc.) The free CD was so-so -- I'm not a big fan of Keali'i Reichel.

This is one of two general guidebooks on Kaua'i I've used over the years. On previous trips, I've used The Ultimate Kaua'i Guidebook, and I think I prefer it slightly.

Thinking of Hawaii today. How much I'd like to be there. Worked for the printer who produced this edition for Lenore. I no longer have my copy because I handed it off to friends who were heading to Ka'wai and felt they could make good use of this material.

Aloha Lenore!

This was a good introduction to the island, with great descriptions of beaches, restaurants, and things to do.
