So I get a Sony email today saying Frommer's and Zagat guides are now available. And since I'm going to the Bahamas on Sunday, I'm thinking, hrmm, maybe I'll get one. They didn't have Frommer's, but they did have The Rough Guide to the Bahamas for $14.69. I'm cool with the price. Then I see the file size:
18.88 MB

Has anyone bought one of these before? I'm wondering why the file is so darn big, and if it makes the book run slowly.

FYI I normally would rather have one of my small map guides, but as I'm going to be sitting on my butt most of the time, I thought this was a good option.
