The e-books offer mapping, hotel and restaurant recommendations and a guide to local sights.
Russ Grandinetti, vice president for Kindle Content, said: "Kindle's portability and light weight make it ideal for travel. The Michelin Driving Tours complement the Kindle travel experience by guiding travelers from unique hotels to must-see attractions to four-star restaurants, all in one
lightweight package."
