When I travelled to Mexico I decided to forego carrying around a heavy guidebook which had been one of the biggest trials of the trip. When someone told me that I could just purchase and download only the chapters I required from Lonely Planet’s website I thought I would give that a shot for this leg of the trip. It has been ideal, rather than spend the full amount for a book, when we wouldn’t be needing half of it as Mexico is a huge country and we will not be travelling all around it, I ended up saving money and I don’t have the pain in the neck of hauling a big book around with me.
Now I just print off the pages I need for each city for a few cents in an internet cafe and with a few clicks on my laptop I can view any information that I need. The content is the same as the printed guidebooks, apart from you don’t have the colour photograph section for copyright reasons, but all the vital information you need is there.
It is a great solution if you are travelling with your own laptop or want to go green and cut down on your usage of paper and you save money too by just buying what you need.
