I recently bought an Asus Transformer Droid pad. (great tablet!) It came with a Kindle ap. MY wife, who has a Kindle, suggested that I download "The History of the Telephone" by Herbert Newton Casson. I did and it is a very intersting read. Mr Casson makes numerous predictions about the future of the telephone industry as well as provides the history of how the telephone and AT&T came to be.
There are two things that really make this book worth reading:
1. It is a free download from Amazon.com's Kindle Store.
2. It was written in 1910.
Parts of it are laugh out loud.

The author does a very good job of fleshing out the background of the invention. Well worth the read!

Very interesting, recommend reading it. Interesting that Bell was a speech expert, without his background in speech he would have never thought of inventing the telephone.
