I purchased the Kindle edition of this book. Just so you know., unlike some reviewers who review books before they go, I actually have been to San Francisco. This book was full of interesting tidbits and suggestions. Whole section on history of the city. The information was good and helped me to plan out my short business stay in San Francisco. I was able to make plans to do a little sight seeing in the small amount of time that I would have after my meetings were over at the end of the day. However, it is not a great quick guide for the electronic version. I had to go back to my notes section time and time again because sometimes that great best restaurant that was mentioned in the beginning of the book, or the if you only have 1 day section, was not clearly delineated in the city section segment, or the restaurant section. I realize they probably were trying not to bore the reader by repeating something, but it is extremely frustrating to read something in the guide book, but then be on the street with the book and try to make a quick decision about where to lead your group next when you can't find the tidbit again. I/m not even sure that it would be easier in a paper back form either. Maps are not legible on a Kindle even with zoom feature. Would have been great to be able to see bus routes and Subway stops and schedules also. So while it gave me great information, I feel that the organization of the GUIDE book leaves much to be desired. I buy guide books not only to educate me, but also to be quick access guides to take along with me for quick reference to along my journey. This one falls flat of that for me.
