There's a very good book called "Basic Fingerstyle Blues Guitar", available on Amazon.  It helped me immensely.

This looks like an interesting and useful book. I went to Amazon and discovered I could buy it for my Kindle. I was almost read to purchase when I had a question about the C.D.--would it be included on the Kindle purchase?

I got the idea that it wouldn't, I was also concerned about whether any illustrations in the book would be too small to see clearly. I've purchased some non-fiction books for Kindle in which maps and pictures were so small they were useless.

Does anyone have experience buying guitar books for a Kindle?

Also, the resolution for the tabs is less than spectacular, at least for my aging eyes.  I love my Kindle, but not for music books.
