I can warmly recommend
Lingua Latina per se illustrata. It focus more on reading and understanding than grammar, and I think it's a great choice if you want an easy self-study introduction to Latin, to be able to read a little and learn some words.
I don't know whether the CD rom version will be useful for your ebook reader though. I've only tried the p-book.
Quote:
Direct understanding
This direct method, based on understanding from the context, has proved efficient both for self-tuition and class teaching. An important factor is the satisfaction experienced by students when they discover that they can actually read and understand Latin immediately without translating or decoding. Such direct understanding gives the students self-confidence and develops their faculties of observation and reasoning, faculties that will be greatly needed as the sentences grow more complex. Reading in this way, they move on step by step toward the ultimate object of Latin teaching: the reading of Latin literature in Latin with real understanding and appreciation.
