Kindle or Paperback Unofficial Guide?

[klacey1]

I love the Unofficial Guide to WDW and get that year's edition every time we travel to WDW. However, for this year's trip, I have a Kindle Fire. Does anyone have any preference of the paperback version vs. the ebook? They're about the same in price. I was leaning toward the hardcopy, as I like to highlight things and fold down pages and make notes, but it's SO large and heavy. I bring my Kindle everywhere with me, and having it on that would be much more convenient. Anyone have a preference/recommendation?

I don't use guides as we have reached the point of just going to the park for a couple of hours and enjoying other things Disney.
The one problem with the Kindle fire is that the screen doesn't really work outdoors in the bright FL sunshine - tried to read my Fire poolside and couldn't make out the screen, luckily I did bring a regular paperback. So you would have to keep on finding a shady spot in the park to use your Kindle Fire.
But a plus is that you can make notes and bookmarks on it just like a hardcopy.

Paperback.

Guides are the only books that I buy paper versions of. Much easier to flip through.

I agree. I have a version on our Nook and I hate it.

I am planning to buy the paper version as soon as its out. I like to highlight and fold pages too. And I rip out the touring plans from the back and pop those in my pocket.


Does anyone know when the 2014 version will be out?

I had the kindle version and also the paperback. It's so much easier to find information in the paperback.

I had the same debate and bought the paperback. I think it's easier to flip through and find what I want. And my 4 year old has really enjoyed flipping through it.
