With the release of SharePoint 2010 people are asking about the best ways to learn about SharePoint 2010.  While I’m a huge advocate for blogs, you have a lot to follow and they aren’t often what you need when you need it.  That’s what search is for right??  Well, sometimes you want to learn a subject and read the topic from front to back or to have the handy reference online or to read on a plane, or on the beach or wherever.  That’s where books come in.  There are more than double the books on Amazon already for SharePoint 2010 than there were for SharePoint 2007.  Lots of choices :)

I’ve seen that already 6 are available on Kindle as well.  Feel free to suggest other books.  I plan to track down the ebooks and append to this list as well.
