The ePub version is less than 7 megs. I'm guessing Fodor used KindleGen and it automatically included all the source files as it usually does.
There really aren't all that much in the way of images beyond some facsimiles of vintage ads. Maybe your Kindle was just locked up indexing such a big file?
Perhaps you could try downloading and converting the ePub version via Calibre to see if gives the same problem, if you have the patience for testing things that way.
Or move it onto the Kindle before bedtime and see if it runs smoothly after having indexed the book overnight.
