We bought the latest version of this guide which was 1 year old. There was a lot of wrong information. The prices didn't correspond, accomodation possibilities was incomplete and sometimes contain false information, time tables of transport were wrong. It was better to read discussions and ratings on booking.com and tripadvisor.com.

Found the layout of the guide confusing. There is no traditional table of contents, so it's hard to find things. For example, the front cover lists as one of the three highlights of the book a "full-colour wildlife guide." Yet, it's not listed in the sketchy table of contents, which is really just a broad outline of the book, nor in the index. Only way I could find it was by flipping through the book. And once I found it I was disappointed--it's only 10 pages long with a whopping 16 photos.
The whole book reads like it was designed by the same folks who do the graphics for USA Today--i.e. designed for people who get bored reading more than a few sentences of text unless there's at least one photo, graph, text box, etc. to break up the "monotony". For my tastes it makes every page look way too busy and makes it hard to assimilate the information. I prefer Bradt guides, but they don't have one for Malaysia.
Nevertheless, if you can ignore the organization, the text is detailed and well-written.

Bought the kindle edition. Too hard to use for looking up details of different places and maps impossible to read. Thought it would be great for travelling as it would be lighter in luggage but will only buy paper copies in the future as I need the maps of the towns to get around. Paper copy also has an index to go to find things easy.Will not buy another Kindle Lonely Planet Guide.
