WW II books is such a broad topic. I would say that the Atkinson books is the best of the more recent books, while the Ryan books were the best of the older books. Some of Max Hastings books are pretty good as well.

I tend to favor the tactical/strategy analysis books over the straight history books. There is a lot of Pacific War books that have been coming out recently, at least as ebooks. I really liked Lydell-Hart's WW II book, but that's not available as an ebook. Since this fall will be the 75th anniversary of the start of WW II, I hope that some of the old classics, such as Lydell-Hart's book may be re-released and converted to ebook.
