While not quite hitting the topic that started the thread, Martin Caidin wrote several very good books about WWII, at least two of which - The Last Dogfight and Whip - were located in the Pacific Theater. Unfortunately, like many of the other books noted so far in this thread, none of his books are (yet) available for the Kindle.
However, one very interesting thing I just discovered while poking through the Kindle store is that Winston Churchill's six-volume history of the Second World War *is* available on the Kindle! For anyone interested in that period of history, this is a must-read (IMHO!). And the final volume, Triumph and Tragedy, gives a very good look at the use of the Bomb. While not a novel, it would certainly be worth spending some time with...
Cheers,
Mike
