I purchased an eBook of "The Lost Symbol" and managed to read it on my iPod Touch. (Yes, I know I am a glutton for punishment, but it actually held my attention.) When it comes stateside, I'll probably get a paperback copy for my wife to read so she can learn once and for all what we Freemasons are all about!
