Kindle version
There is no actual need for a kindle device, all you need is the free Kindle App and an account at Amazon. These eBooks will work on Android, Blackberry, Windows phones as well as the iphone/ipad/ipod touch, PC, MAC and the actual Kindle itself. These eBooks are reformatted for the smaller viewing screen, but are still direct copies from the paper books. They contain all the photos and introductions as well as all the surf break reports from the relevant paper guide(s). |

iBook version
The same reformatted eBook version as the Kindle, but they only work on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and are only available from the Apple iTunes Store or the iBook Store on handheld devices. People living in Europe and ROW countries (except the USA, Canada, UK and Germany) might find that these iBooks versions are cheaper than the Kindle version due to Amazon automatically adding extra charges and tax. |
