I now work on Android so it is a bit easier to keep up to date. :) I really struggled before because I was doing JDK 1.4 all the time. I'm hoping to find a way to do more reading on the Android so I don't have to lug books all the time. Kindle is on it, but none of the technical books I want to read are there. Does someone know if I can get recent technical books in a format that is readable on the Android?
