The following books on dynamical systems are available for the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader. And we threw in one music CD just for fun.
Handbook of Dynamical Systems
Volume 1B


Boris Hasselblatt and Anatole Katok (editors)
Elsevier (2006), 1234 pp.
Price: $260.00 (Hardcover)
ISBN 978-0-4445-2055-5

This book is the second half of Volume 1. Volume 1A was published in 1980. Contributors to this volume include Barreira, Pesin, Forni, Glasner, Masur, Weiss, Kifer, Sambarino, and many others. It concentrates on hyperbolic dynamics, parabolic dynamics, ergodic theory, and infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. This book addresses topics which should be in any dynamicist's arsenal, such as work with dominated splittings, nonuniformly expanding maps, and robust transitivity.

Autonomous and Dynamical Systems [Music CD]


David Dunn
Label: New World Records
Price: $17.99 (MP3 download)

So, it's not as catchy as the CD by Entropy64, but it's far more mathematical. Dunn connects Crutchfield's program MODE (Multiple Ordinary Differential Equations) to a sound synthesis program.
