Yes I have to agree, lonely planet is awesome. When I was in Europe I was even able to find english verisions of it for sale at book stores when I was in non-english speaking countries.

Though I have to say there is some personal preference in guide books. I had a friend who swore by her Fordors, but I did not like the set up of it I found it harder to find the info that I wanted.

Lonely Planet is also targeted at the budget traveler, I had several people who did not "plan on traveling on bugdet" tell me that they were getting a different travel guide, yeah must be nice to travel and not worry about money!

File size is most likely due to the pictures and search capacity?
