I have neither the time nor the resources to take a photography class right now, but I would love to learn some fundamentals. Does anyone here know a good book I can use? Do the fundamentals change when you're dealing with digital photography instead of film? There are so many books on Amazon, so I'd love to get some real world reviews before I decide which one to get.

Thank you all so much!!

One of the best quick read books on digital photography is Scott Kelby's

The Digital Photography Book. Every page is like a blog post. The second book will be out in another month, but start with this one.

You will be amazed at what you learn is a short period of time. Here is a link to it on Amazon.

I found this book very helpful: Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-Photographs-Digital-Updated/dp/0817463003/

Besides books there's a lot of information on the internet regarding photography due to it's popularity.

If you "google" the particular aspect of photography that you want to learn about you're bound to find many sources of information.

Be really specific with your search query though, ...don't just type "photography".

I found that instead of reading one of those photography for dummies book, which was very broad, and can be overwhelming at times......it was better to target a specific area of photography to help hone your skill.....a book that taught me a whole lot when I first started was "Understanding Exposure" it will open your eyes to a whole new world, and as I suggested earlier is targets a specific area in photography.

Good Luck!

Oh sweet, I didn't even realize that someone else recommended this book too! That means it's a must read eh?!
