I was at a travel conference where Rick Steve's was speaking and afterwards I actually asked him why his guidebooks were not available in ebook form. He said that Amazon had brought him to their offices and demo'd the Kindle to him and that seeing the Kindle made him realize that he needed to rethink his stance on ebooks. He mentioned that he was talking to his staff about how they could design travel books for the features of an ereader and not just to a translation of the book. He didn't know when they would begin publishing the books but it was likely to happen in the future.
That gave me hope that some day I would be able to take his books on a future European vacation.
