Lonely Planet World's Best Street Food mini (Lonely Planet Food) Paperback – Illustrated, March 15, 2016

I got this for a gift exchange, my uncle got the gift and LOVES the book!!

Bought this one as a lark to gift to my sweetie since we love food, especially "street food'. Didn't look too much into it but I will certainly be making things from it for her based upon what i did see. Seems to have a nice, diverse set of recipes

The description says you can pinch to zoom images and text, but that doesn't work on my Nexus 7. It's not available for PC or Mac but it is available for all of their eink devices! They even list Kindle for Android phones as an available device!It's a crooked scan which I guess is supposed to look artsy, but it's not very usable.Edit: it turns out zoom does work, just not within this book. I tried to zoom and the size of the image did not change, but when I went into the book I had been reading and the font is huge! So the zoom works, it just works on a different book.

Jam packed with beautiful photos and fascinating food information. However, and it's a big however, unless you're able to view this on a large monitor (mine is 27") the text will be impossible to make out--unless you have some sort of super vision. It is totally inappropriate for any of the handheld Kindles.I've not tried any of the recipes, though they "read" authentic. I'm happy to purchase just for the pictures and the info goodies. Lonely Planet always does a great job, but some books just aren't adaptable to e-readers.

I have no complains with the contents of the book, only the ebook version. If you are getting the Kindle version, there are a few things you need to know.1. Its almost like a scanned copy of the original book. I'm using a full size ipad to read this and I felt the words are too small. I tried to go potrait style but it seems to only work with landscape.2. Images not present. Despite the print version being highly graphical for each recipe, you won't find the same here on the Kindle version. Because of this, reading isn't a pleasure because the food are not familiar so you go wondering what they look like, thus none seem to stand out.In short, don't get the Kindle version unless you know the book and just want a copy of the recipes.

Wonderfully illustrated with close to a hundred street food items for all over the world. Not only do they give you the recipe for each item, it goes into detail about what it is, where to find and the origins of the item. A good way to eat the street food of the world without leaving your home.

I did not bother to finish this book, I flipped through five or six pages and gave up. This is not a book formatted for Kindle. This is a book the appears to have been carefully photographed.Problem number one with this, it only works in landscape mode on your device. Problem number two, you are dealing with type not formatted to fit on a Kindle or other device. You are forced to view two pages on the screen. My mini iPad makes the text small, it is not comfortable for reading a recipe. Add brightly colored backgrounds and the small text blends into the background. If you are needing reading glasses, or have problems with reading poorly contrasted text, skip this book in Kindle format.Yes, the book has lots of pretty pictures, but I would prefer the option of being able to view one page at a time vs reading this in two page formatting with no option for making the text larger. This book would be much better in traditional book format. On a Kindle, I was going to get a headache.

I love buying books on Amazon. I love even more their FREE ebooks! I have received quite a few and they do not fail to please me! I always find one or two recipes I just cannot live without!
