Our eGuides are small, informative collections of the latest travel information from AsiaForVisitors.com and ThailandForVisitors.com. These guides are delivered either in in 'PDF' format, so they can be read - and printed - on any computer, or in popular 'eBook' formats that can be read on-the-go on hand-held devices. The guides focus on specific topics, such as popular sights in a destination or walking tours, and include detailed information about how to get around and when to go. The guides are easier to take with you, and cheaper as well as more up to date than a traditional guide book.
Are the eGuides the same as the site content?
Most of the content is the same as you'll find on the web site. However, you would have to print out dozens of pages from the site to get the information, resulting in a much bigger document than the eGuides, which are optimized for printing. The eGuides also include "margin notes" relating bits of trivia, historical background and other information not found in the site at all.
Why should I pay for an eGuide when the site is free?
There are several reasons:
The eGuides include content not found on the site.
The PDF eGuides can be printed and taken with you a lot easier than printing out pages of the site.
You'd look really silly walking through the Grand Palace with your laptop turned on, and there's no wi-fi access there anyway.
Which format is right for me?
The eGuides come in two formats, Mobi and ePub. Mobi and ePub are meant to be read on electronic readers. The Mobi format is used by Amazon's Kindle, while the ePub format is supported by several popular ebook reader programs, such as Apple's iBooks. Note that you don't have to have a Kindle device to read Kindle books. The software is available free from Amazon for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android. If you have an iPad, tablet or smartphone that you plan to take with you, then either the Mobi or ePub formats will work for you.
