Below is a collection of books I’ve been recently reading. I’m always trying to read one prose style book for nighttime reading while I read one technical style book while I’m fresher during the day. I believe in the “Read to Lead” motto and I’m always looking to improve the management side and technical side.  I just passed 150 technology related books from the kindle store so far, meaning I should start investing in Amazon Stock :/

 

My current weapon of choice is the Kobo Aura H20. It’s actually a dream to read on, given it’s slightly larger in screen size vs the paperwhite.

Prose style reads.

Management, self improvement, technology startup stories, biographies.

      hey Justin, I mainly use the H20 for non-technical books and for technical books I bit the bullet and got a Sony DPT-RP1 13’3″ e-reader. It’s much better for technical books!
