Brierley Camino Frances book available digitally?

Is John Brierley's book on Camino Frances available digitally so I don't have to carry extra weight? THANKS!

I saw that the new version may be digital for the CF for 2023, but it is not out yet. Says if you pre-order it will be delivered wirelessly to your Kindle App on Nov. 8.

Too bad... that is 2 weeks after I return! Thanks for letting me know!

The Village to Village guide by Dintaman and Landis is available for the Kindle app. It's a great guide book as well. Has just enough history and discussion and alternate routes.

As is the Moon Guide, which I've read good things about.

I downloaded Brierley's CF Maps only book via Kindle on my phone in 2015. Definitely more than just maps. Will use it again in two weeks. Don't know if it is still available on Kindle.

Yes! I've been reading Beebe Bahrami's book. Maps not so great, but loads of info on sacred sites, historic villages, and local food & wine. Just added it to my phone from Kindle. Wonderful resource.

The 2023 is available digitally. Don't buy it. The kindle version in 2023 is close to useless on a digital reader. Rather than being formatted for the kindle which would allow the reader to select text font size and the content to be reflowed to fill the screen, the content is an exact match of the printed book which can't be resized. Basic mark-up which would provide a table of context, clickable links, etc are not present. Depending on which Kindle / application you are using you either see the page in tiny (to me almost unreadable text) or maybe you have the option to "zoom in" getting the text to a readable size but needed to move the zoomed in text side to side as you read since the page doesn't fit in the display. Don't bother with the Kindle version of this book. If you want to use Brierley, go with the paper copy.

It really hasn't changed that much.
I have the 2022 version on my Kindle.

You can get other guidebooks on Kindle that have better formatting.
I can vouch for The Moon Guide and The Village to Village Guide. You can try a sample first to see if you like the format.
