SUPER HANDY!
We won a trip to St. Croix on The Newlywed Game and could find very little about it. This guide was great! I highlighted everything we wanted to see/do on my Kindle and referenced it with ease. The maps aren't great, but I blame that more on Kindle than the book. Definitely a wise investment (and be sure to see the beer-swillin' pigs!)

Excellent guide
"All of the usual guidebook information is compacted into a pocket size, user friendly reference including places to go, what to see, what to do, and where to stay. Enhanced with historical 'infobits', maps, information and advice, this is the ideal and recommended trip planner whether traveling on a budget or in luxury, on a day-trip or an extended vacation." -- Midwest Book Review."Recommended for visitors who want to research a trip ahead of time and take the book along for repeated reference. Covers the beautiful islands in the chain, from reefs, wrecks and eco-adventures to town attractions and places to stay. An excellent guide." -- The Bookwatch."The Virgin Islands offer something for every type of vacationer. As Sullivan demonstrates, the main islands have all the amenities and indulgences one would expect in a tropical paradise, plus a breathtaking Caribbean setting and just enough foreign quirks to be intriguing." --Ingram Advance Magazine.

Even full screen rotated wide on my DX, the text labels on the islands and cays are too blocky to be easily picked out. Another thing is that the index which hyperlinks to the chapters and subsections is not available from the kindle menu. Those problems aside the writing is excellent and the material seems to be very good. The details match the information I have gathered from extensive reading on the web. So, if you want to save yourself a lot of time digging for information pick this up. The topics I wanted to read are all here. The information about getting around between the local islands is especially well covered including phone numbers and prices. There are a few things that I...
