If you've ever wanted to understand how bonds work, "Why Bother With Bonds: A Guide To Build All-Weather Portfolio Including CDs, Bonds, and Bond Funds—Even During Low Interest Rates" is free for the next couple of days http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PL7WS16/
A basic starter guide on saving and investing, If You Can, is also free at the moment: http://www.amazon.com/If-You-Can-Millennials-Slowly-ebook/dp…
Note that the latter is very short, a bit US-centric and recommends further reading from other authors as "homework". The principles are still valid in Australia. It is also available free for manual download always but only in Kindle format direct from Amazon for a few days every few months (http://efficientfrontier.com/ef/0adhoc/2books.htm).
Thanks for those 2 ebooks - will have a browse!
