We just bought the Lonely Planet Maldives since my wife and I intend to go there this summer, and we decided It was best to buy the online edition (Kindle for iPad) since we wanted to reduce weight to the minimum, thus avoiding physical books.
As you probably know, the main decision when going to Maldives is which resort to choose according to the depth of your pocket and personal interests (diving, surfing, pampering, etc). What I found annoying about Lonely Planet's e-book was that the most important piece of information (a table of resorts scored and compared on a number of aspects -diving, snorkeling, beach, kids, social life, spa, surfing, food, accomodation- is missing in the electronic edition, which makes it useless if you want to decide which resort to go swiftly.
On the contrary, you'll have to do extensive research in order to decide the right resort for you, and with a significant risk of choosing the wrong place, wich could ruin your holidays.
Hence, be advised and do not buy the e-book becauses it is useless in this sense, and a great letdown. Buy the physical edition instead, which has the resort scoring table and will make things much easier for you.

As we've thought about our trip to the Maldives, I've gotten overwhelmed by the sheer number of excellent options there are for our trip. This book does the most extraordinary job of explaining them all and gently guiding the reader to sort out what he or she needs and wants from the trip. After one reading, I was able to know exactly what we will be doing on our trip and feeling confident about my choices suiting us. I also found remarkable the author's ability to distinguish the resorts from one another in very few words. He has a tremendously refined reviewer's ability and I am very grateful for it!

If you have ever looked into going to the Maldives then you know the issue is not trying to find a great resort, but which great resort to choose. This helps give a good idea of what each offers.

One source but Trip Advisor and other sites like Agoda is a useful cross check. Some very useful tips and for the price a solid buy. Cheaper than the hard copy edition, so this represents solid value.
I chose my hotel becuase of this and got some valuable undertsanding of transfers, snorkelling, hotels, pricing etc.
