Humblebundle have just released a new Lonely Planet Guidebook / uTalk Language course bundle. Includes some of OzBargain's favourites* Japan, Kenya and Turkey. Based on some comments on Reddit it looks like you get just the one key for all the uTalk language courses so you'll have to speedread/learn your way through all the languages in 12 months (6 months for Mongolian if you just get Tier 2)
I imagine all of these are the latest versions but some of them could be quite old. Some examples, it looks like LP Japan's ebook has a publication date of 1 May 2022 (new one out in March 2024), Turkey Nov 2022 and Kenya 2018. I clicked a few randomly and they were all ePubs.
There is some debate on the usefulness of travel books these days but at least with this bundle you don't need to lug around a heavy book. Not much use for a homebody like me, but I think you're getting a lot for $30. If you so choose, you can donate almost $21 to the charity which happens to be One Tree Planted which states: "We are a non-profit focused on global reforestation. Every dollar donated plants one tree."

Given how many ozbargainers have an address 'in Turkey' where they get their subscriptions, it's probably time we all learnt Turkish!
