Despite the ability to carry a world map and thousands of books in our hand, a lot of people still love having a real life paperback travel guide book packed in the suitcase.
Or, reaping all the benefits of long established, highly researched guides in Kindle or other digital form.
Any why not?
There’s something special about carrying a little book with you on your travels throughout NZ, bookmarking the pages that interest you, and highlighting the sights you want to stop at.
But you’re not limited to a paperback in your bag: many of the best guides are now available as a Kindle download. Besides the obvious space saver aspect, it means you can “pack” multiple books if you want – something it really is difficult to pick just one as they all have their benefits.
