The age of hauling around heavy travel guides in your luggage is over, welcome to the new era of ebook technology!

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - 11th August, 2010 - The launch of the first centralized website for ebook travel guides, brought some relief today to the millions of airline passengers being punished this summer with rising prices for checking luggage onto flights.

"The average travel guide weighs anything up to 1kg in weight." Said, Simon Raven, Managing Director of www.ebooktravelguides.com. "That's a whopping 10% of your luggage allowance."

EbookTravelGuides.com was developed by twin brothers and road trip travel writers, Simon Raven and Chris Raven, who grew tired of searching the net for the correct ebook travel guide, only to find out it wasn't in the right format for their specific ebook reading device.

Simon Raven said, "Our site isn't sophisticated. In fact, it's just well categorized links that will easily help you find what you are looking for."

Uniting all of the leading travel guide series from, Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, Time Out, Frommer's, and Fodor's, user of the site can purchase their guidebook of choice from their store of choice, whether it be Amazon, Barnes & Noble or iTunes.

"Ebook technology is developing at a rapid rate." Said Simon. "With all of the many platforms available from Amazon Kindle to iPad, we believe www.ebooktravelguides.com will simplify the book buying process, and ultimately help lighten your luggage."
