Rome: The Rough Guide

Summary: Got lots of free time to waste?
Review: The unfortunate problem with this book is it is on the MS Reader platform. This means you are about to buy hours of frustration. "Just download the book-Oh, by the way,you might need this free program called Microsoft reader." It doesn't mention all the hoops you have to jump through as Microsoft manipulates you into having to sign up for a lot of other things you don't want, always with the dangling carrot that if you just spend another hour dealing with error messages and malfunctioning servers you may actually be able to download your book. If you are bored, this can keep you occupied for hours, maybe days. On the other hand, if you actually want to read the book, stick with ebooks in the Acrobat reader version-you just download the reader (not forced to download and sign up for a bunch of stuff you don't want) and you might have some time to read. Better yet, stick to paper-it has worked for over a thousand years.
