Kindle easily connected to free internet in Athens,
We recently went to a few places in Europe. September-October is really the best time to visit Europe. Rather than taking paper travel guides, I loaded travel guides on my new Kindle. In many respects the electronic guides were similar to paper guides: same maps, directions and description of attractions. However the Kindle had four clear advantages:
1. The Kindle is lighter.
2. The Kindle connected to internet anywhere for free.
3. I didn’t have to read the articles myself. The Kindle was reading to me while I was walking around.
4. The travel guides are cheaper for the Kindle
Let me emphasize the #2 and #3. This free connection really makes a lot of sense. I was able to locate my hotel on Google maps and select a restaurant based on TripAdvisor reviews.
For #3 I used the speaker on the back of the Kindle. The sound was crystal clear.
Overall I had very pleasant experience traveling with my Kindle!
