Offbeat Guides now on Amazon Kindle!
April 27th, 2009 by Zain Iqbal
We’re thrilled to announce that 500 Offbeat Guides will now be available on the Amazon Kindle, putting you in touch with all of those unique places that you’re planning to visit! Since each guide provides current event listings on concerts, festivals, clubs, and meetings that are going on during the month of your trip, you’ll now have the most up-to-date information, right at your fingertips on the Kindle. It’s great for when you’re traveling somewhere at the last minute – or when you’re planning on a fun night out with friends or colleagues. There’s no more up-to-date guide available anywhere.

Very informative post. I’ve found your blog via Yahoo and I’m really glad about the information you provide in your posts. Btw your sites layout is really messed up on the Chrome browser. Would be really great if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the good work!
So I was a little grumpy last night and posted the previous response, and less than 24 hours later I see in my inbox a very nice reply from Mr. Sifry explaining that the situation will be looked into!
Amazon appears to have dropped the ball in this case, and not updated their version of the product with the new data supplied by offbeatguides at the end of November.
So, more kudos to offbeatguides for the prompt response and reply, and hopefully Amazon will be a little less tardy with their product updates.
So I just purchased the Colorado Springs version of this product. It would be spectacular if I had a time machine to travel back one month and take advantage of the events listed (e.g. purchased December 8th, information was current through the end of November).
I’m holding off on a review of the product on Amazon, hoping you’ll take the opportunity to offer some kind of updates so the product isn’t a 70% waste of my time and money.
Kudos on the first 20% – 25% of the product, the museum, sights, things to do categories were all decent.
Shame on you for the last 3/4ths to 2/3rds of it.
