Sad to say, these are the only two photography books I own. In their defense, they have served me well up to this point. I learned a lot of basic techniques from the "Everything Photography" book, which i received as a gift when I got my first 35mm SLR years ago. And of course the other book has served as a reference guide for the photo editing software I currently use.
But, I feel like I have outgrown my books. I went back to the "Everything Photography" book to look for some new tips/ideas, and realized it is quite outdated. Yes, some photography basics never change. But a lot of the info is centered around 35mm cameras, and I now own a digital SLR with lots more features, buttons, options, etc. So I feel that it is time to look into getting some new books, but I'm not sure which to try. Anyone have any suggestions for some good go-to books on photography techniques?

I'm not good at reading that kind of books (i baught the "how to use your Canon 400D" (I guess it's the european name for the Rebel DSLR) 8 month ago, I still haven't finished it yet).
But, i found the books (e-books as well as his "within the frame" book) of David duChemin very well written, with a lot a good ideas and explanations. It's not specific to one kind of camera, and they are more about "how to be a better photographer, how to make better pictures..."
