Buy your travel guides on iTunes!
I love when people think things through and ask themselves, “How can we take something great and make it even better?” That’s exactly what Frommer’s Travel Guides have done. I’ve used many different travel books in the past, including Frommer’s and they’re incredibly handy. They provide you with maps, listings, must-see locations, usually even some basic phrases if language is a consideration.
The problem with them, however, is that they’re not particularly convenient. They’re fun to flip through when you’re sitting at home on your couch in the planning stages, but who wants to actually go sight-seeing with a big book that you have to flip back and forth through? I always figure that the more stuff I’m carrying while I’m walking around, the more stuff I have to potentially lose or forget.
Frommer’s is clearly brilliant and forward thinking since now you can not only buy the books in your regular book store, you can also go to iTunes and buy the digital version for ten bucks each from the App Store. The digital books are available for both the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
Right now, they’re offering the 2008 editions for London, New York, San Francisco, and Paris, but stay tuned for more destinations over time!
