I just got into ebook reading on my pocket pc phone and I have to say it's pretty awesome. I'm reading three books right now (Im ADD!), but I'm looking to buy some more ebooks. What kind of books should I read that are a must read/best seller's list. Interested in technology, business and current events as well as history.

If you like history you should check out "One Hell of a Gamble" by Aleksandr Fursenko and Timothy Naftali. It is really scholarly, but it reads like a novel... it is about as far away from dry as you can get. It basically reviews the Cuban Missile Crisis from both the Russian and America perspectives. Since it uses newly declassified info there is some shocking stuff.

I'm a big fan of Neal Stephenson. Start with 'Cryptonomicon'. it was once a NYT best seller. It's technically science fiction, but it deals more with the history and present day uses of cryptography all wrapped in a pretty well-written story. the link below goes to a much better description of the book i've given. Give a try and you'll be hooked too.

You must read Dan Brown's Digital Fortress or Deception Point. Or James Rollin's Map Of Bones.
