Mountain Directory East Ebook review
A $15 ebook listing over 300 mountain passes and steep grades in eleven eastern US states for truckers and RV drivers, with sample entries, a 60-day refund and DRM limits, from a publisher active since 1993.
Worth it
This is one of the clearer offers in the batch. The page lists the states, says what each entry contains, shows real sample text and offers a demo, and $15 for the East edition is a modest price with a 60-day ClickBank refund. The caveats are practical. The headline covers 22 states, but $15 buys only the eastern half, and the combined edition costs $25. The DRMZ files install on two computers and are aimed at desktops and laptops, which is awkward for a driver on the road. The publisher is named, but we saw no address or phone in the pages read. Treat the road descriptions as a planning aid and check current signage.

Mountain Directory East Ebook at a glance
The Mountain Directory East is an ebook from R&R Publishing Inc., which says it has been collecting and publishing information on mountain passes and steep grades since 1993 for truckers, RV and motorhome drivers. The East edition covers over 300 passes and steep grades in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. Entries give length, percent grade, number of lanes, escape ramps, switchbacks, sharp curves and speed limits. The page says the ebook holds all of the almost 240 pages of the printed versions, and clicking a yellow triangle on the relief maps opens the text for that location. Real sample entries and a demo are offered. The files are DRMZ downloads for Windows and Mac desktops and laptops; an authorization code arrives by email and works on two computers, and Android or iOS use is not guaranteed. The price is $15.
