Roadfood This book may be fantastic on paper, but it’s not usable in Kindle. That’s too terrible, because this is just the kind of book you’d like to be able to take along on your travels lacking being burdened by the physical book.
The organization of the book is by geographical region, with the smallest unit being a state. So if you’re using Kindle to look for a restaurant in a particular city or region, you must page through all of the restaurants in the state, which are listed in alphabetical order by restaurant name. If the region bridges states, your problem is compounded.
The paper edition uses maps for indexes, with the names of featured restaurants in a particular area listed on the map. You thus go from the map to the alphabetical listing of the restaurants. Sorry to say the map pages are not legible on Kindle. They were simply scanned, not adjusted for screen size, and, as graphics, they do not respond to a change in print size.
Once again the transition to Kindle is thoughtless, taking no consideration of the practical need of the user to navigate the book.

If you want to know where to eat, question a “local”, or trust Jane and Michael Sterns, they have been there! The Stern’s book, Road Food, does not just sit on my shelf, it travels with me – yours should too. 1) Buy the book 1a) go to their website (Amazon questions that no URLs be agreed – look on the back of the book or do a web search) 2) Pack the Car 3) Go Eat…

This book is hard to navigate on a Kindle. Only around 175 restaurants and just about every town that I look up- does not have a restaurant reviewed. As an example seems weird that several restaurants are listed for Key West but few additional places in Florida. Wasted Money.

I am very pleased with this book. I have additional Roadfood and Goodfood books as well as additional Stern books, including Square Meals. I have just ongoing to read it but I am enjoying the book, especially the new places.
