Four short stories, generally about a person from a European country travelling to another country. No Finland, though. The stories were simple and wouldn't really hold my attention otherwise, but I am willing to lower the bar for the purpose of language learning. The formatting (every sentence in the target language is followed by a translation in the base language) works well on the e-reader.
The book is actually much shorter than it looks, because after the stories are presented as parallel text, they are repeated again, separately in each of the languages.
