Hi guys.

I'm looking at beginning my CISCO CCNA in the coming months.

What books would you recommend?
I've been looking at the Official Cert Guide books on the Cisco Store.
I would prefer an eBook PDF for my iPad.

Is there any point to getting the version with the Simulator Library?
Or should I just get the basic cert guide and rely on real GNS3 and/or real cisco hardware for labs?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!

    The new Wendell Odom books are very good for the ICND1 ICND2 exams.

    This. Very in depth and leave no stone unturned.

    I am a fan of Todd Lammle's books myself.

    Todd Lammle's book is good and not as dry as W. Odom's book but does not go as in depth though.

    I used both books for ICND1 and also now with ICND2. I read W. Odom book 1st along with watching CBT Nuggets and currently reading Todd Lammle's book for review before I write ICND2 and to get a better understanding on certain topics as I sometimes understand things better in the way he explains stuff.

    If you want to really in depth into things I would say W. Odom book and if you can get Todd Lammle's book as well just for review.
