The Richest Man in Babylon was noted as recommended reading in a recent motivational seminar. The man I sat next too agreed with the speaker and others that it was a must read, and commented it was an easy read. I found it to be both. Its message is simple and while presented repeatedly, was worth hearing in differnt stories over and over again. The message is easily applied today as it was (purportedly) thousands of years ago. PS this was my first "e-book" purchase - mostly because it was the lowest cost of the recommended books. I enjoyed the "e-reading" of it.
