Well, I'm not sure that I would want to rely on an electronic "book" while hiking the Haute Route. The weather was not always perfect and pulling out the hiking book (Kev Reynolds) was a regular exercise in finding the route. But then again, even had to be careful with paper in inclement weather. Also, there were a few nights without power so charging could be a challenge.
I did purchase a hikikng guide to Glacier National Park just to experiment and while I probably should have returned it to Amazon, I decided to keep it. Maps are impossibly small and hard to read.
