Thanks Carl, maybe I'll start a new thread with some questions as I come up with them, it may be a bit unorganized but at least it could benefit others that way.
Carl:
No problem,I know I am not the only one with answers and others may benefit...as do I as some questions cause me to reach a bit to give a meaningful,understandable ,answer.

Not at all recommended, even at a price tag of $0.00. 8)

I've found that many of the free or very low cost e-books on Amazon are not very good. But I do come across some gems often enough to keep looking for them every day. I just thought I would post these because I don't see free books on HAM radio very often. (Actually I don't think I've ever seen one before.)

You do have to watch the price. Often an author will post a book for free for one day (or a short period of time) so some people will read them and post some reviews. It's all about getting reviews.

Old thread, but I figure that since I just did the exam for Technician and General, I'd toss out what I found most useful.
I have an electronics background, so had to read up on the bands and laws, that sort of thing.
I watched several of the YouTube videos. I also did a lot of online reading.
What really helped me focus on what I did not know was to use the practice exams on HamStudy.org. I also found the ARRL app useful for occasional use when waiting for my daughter to get out of dance.
