Title: Fantastic Freebie, but ONLY on Kindle for PC Windows 8
Review: Jam packed with beautiful photos and fascinating food information. However, and it's a big however, unless you're able to view this on a large monitor (mine is 27") the text will be impossible to make out--unless you have some sort of super vision. It is totally inappropriate for any of the handheld Kindles.I've not tried any of the recipes, though they "read" authentic. I'm happy to purchase just for the pictures and the info goodies. Lonely Planet always does a great job, but some books just aren't adaptable to e-readers.

Title: Can't adjust the font size on the Kindle version so hard to read
Review: This looks like an interesting foodie book but I couldn't get the full measure of it because the print was tiny and faint and you couldn't adjust it. So, I would go for the hard copy not the Kindle.

Title: Unusable
Review: I was very excited about this book, but once downloaded, I was very disappointed. The pages open in landscape, two at a time, and it seems that all the pages, even the recipes are pictures, not text. There is no way to enlarge the pictures or the text, which is so small that it is unreadable. The pictures without recipes are nice, but that's not why I got this book and the type is so small I don't know what I'm looking at.

Title: Great Book with Pictures
Review: A good collection of street foods from all over the world. An informative read with pictures and recipes. The font is small in my Kindle and zooming was not possible.

Title: Ebook version not the same
Review: I have no complains with the contents of the book, only the ebook version. If you are getting the Kindle version, there are a few things you need to know.1. Its almost like a scanned copy of the original book. I'm using a full size ipad to read this and I felt the words are too small. I tried to go potrait style but it seems to only work with landscape.2. Images not present. Despite the print version being highly graphical for each recipe, you won't find the same here on the Kindle version. Because of this, reading isn't a pleasure because the food are not familiar so you go wondering what they look like, thus none seem to stand out.In short, don't get the Kindle version unless you know the book and just want a copy of the recipes.

Title: Wonderfully illustrated with close to a hundred street food items ...
Review: Wonderfully illustrated with close to a hundred street food items for all over the world. Not only do they give you the recipe for each item, it goes into detail about what it is, where to find and the origins of the item. A good way to eat the street food of the world without leaving your home.

Title: It is pictures of pages!
Review: I did not bother to finish this book, I flipped through five or six pages and gave up. This is not a book formatted for Kindle. This is a book the appears to have been carefully photographed.Problem number one with this, it only works in landscape mode on your device. Problem number two, you are dealing with type not formatted to fit on a Kindle or other device. You are forced to view two pages on the screen. My mini iPad makes the text small, it is not comfortable for reading a recipe. Add brightly colored backgrounds and the small text blends into the background. If you are needing reading glasses, or have problems with reading poorly contrasted text, skip this book in Kindle format.Yes, the book has lots of pretty pictures, but I would prefer the option of being able to view one page at a time vs reading this in two page formatting with no option for making the text larger. This book would be much better in traditional book format. On a Kindle, I was going to get a headache.

Review: I bought this for my travel and spice loving cousin for Christmas. He was really inspired and was already planning a trip to his local Asian supermarket for ingredients within minutes of opening it. We both loved the way Tom Parker-Bowles sets the scene for each dish, bringing the whole street-food experience to life, which set us off on trips down memory lane to our own backstreet eating experiences.A great buy for a foodie with itchy feet.
