I've just finished a paper book. Yes, I know I should hang my head in shame, but it's not available as an eBook.
The book was "Egypt - How a Lost Civilization was Rediscovered" by Joyce Tyldesley, and is a very readable account of the history of the development of Egyptology from mere treasure hunting to its modern state as a science. It focusses on the lives of the most famous Egyptologists: Belzoni, Champollion, Petrie, Carter, etc.
An excellent read for anyone interested in the subject.
