Free Travel Guides - electronic Books

If you prefer electronic books, you can download your free travel guide using this web site - GuidesEbooks. It is easy: Just go to the page of the country you are planning to go and do three easy steps to download your travel guide.

In these three steps we prepare an empty book for you, add the right content and show you the list of places with the button to download the book. All this is done from GuidesEbooks at the great travel web site WikiVoyage. Many people from around the world write regularly for the WikiVoyage website, so the information about many countries of the World, which are published there, are very good and up to date. You can create your guide even directly at WikiVoyage, but there is no tool there to add complex sets of pages. And this is what we can do for you: You can just press one button and we will add all the pages about one country, one state, one place...

If you need the book - the travel guide - in another format, for example mobi or prc, convert it from epub using an appropriate software, eg. Calibre, which is free. You can download Calibre here. Just install it, open your travel guide - downloaded in the epub format - and convert it to any format you need. It is very quick and easy.

You may add a cover image as well. We offer your our standard cover image - just download it here. There is an empty space, where you can write any name of your guide you like. When finished, just insert the cover image to Calibre and save your book.

Classic Travel Guides

If you prefer classic travel guides, for example the ones from Lonely Planet, Frommer's, Rough Guides, Fodor's and other big publishing house, you may usually buy them in printed or electronic form. A very good place to start looking for them is Amazon Book Shop - here. They have good prices for printed books and for the electronic ones as well. Just search there for the country you want to visit - and the shop will offer you the guides.

World Atlas for book readers

It is a very good idea to have a World Atlas in your book reader. If you buy the Atlas as an ebook, you can take it anywhere - and you can take a look, for example, what countries are around you during your holidays, how big they are, what people live there... Try for example this World Atlas at Amazon Book Store.

Free printed maps
