The new Lonely Planet--which comes in a Kindle edition--yeah! Two good things, the first is that it appears that all the new Lonely Planet guide books are coming out with an electronic format, which is a huge plus, and different from this summer when I couldn't find an Italian guidebook that wasn't for a specific city. Also good that Nicaragua is now considered enough of a tourist destination to warrent it's own individual guide book. Now the down side. The Kindle version had THE WORST MAPS ever--completely unreadable, and the editions maps overall are not nearly as nice as the maps that I am used to with the Lonely Planet guides. so some work to be done. The scope of the book is to cover the whole country, and they do give some guidance on what to do if you are there for two days or three or longer, which is a step forward for them.

Read several other Lonely Plant books like Guatemala and Belize, and this one isas well done. Can always count on them for up to date (for printed materials) and relevant info. Perfect for the traveler who wants to really experience the country, not the typical "tourist" experience. Chapters broken down for quick reference. ALso sturdy construct which is nice when you have it stored in your backpack. I still shove mine in a ziplock since sudden rains are common in the jungle areas.

Nice coverage of the coffee and tobacco plantations (my interests) as well as the 20 hour Spanish instruction you can receive for $150 (includes residing in a local family home, meals and their taking you into places where you can practice your Spanish). Great book.
