    The book I am reading currently

    The first Ludlum i read was also my favorite Ludlum - Bourne Identity. That was one of those rare ones where i loved both novel and movie adaptations. The Matarese ones were also good. However i dont think i have read covert one series. Had quit reading Ludlum by then.

    All OS Device for reading technical books/PDFs

    Kindle will be good in majority cases unless the pdf is not a text and is an image scan. Only bottleneck in text pdf will be reading large images with lots of markings. (Due to screen size). But you can get used to it unless every other pages have such diagrams. Recommended to read textbooks...

    What happened to Red Dragon ?

    It’s impressive if he was phony considering everyone flocked to him. Very unusual. And the thing that gave away was a photograph.
