As a good layman's overview of the topic, I like Will Durant's
_The Story of Philosophy_, which covers the major streams of philosophical thought along with brief biographies of prominent philosophers.
I don't believe it's available in eBook form, but mass market PB editions seem to be readily available.
The Will Durant Foundation has a website
here with samples of his writing and an overview of his life and career.
