Online Ace is fairly basic (I thought). It's an easy, quick read, decent for review or introduction.

As far as recommendations, how about a bit more of what you are looking for and/or what kind of poker you are playing or want to play. Your question is akin to asking, "I have AK in the hole, how should I play it?" (i.e., impossible to answer).

For a good, informative read I would plump for "Killer Poker Online" (Vol 1 & 2) by John Vorhaus. He writes in a fine style and mostly covers state of mind while playing rather than bores you to death with what you should do if... scenarios.

Perhaps a better focus would be on poker strategy in general (?). There are no magic bullets. Most books that purport to focus on "online/internet" tend to be on the basic side, geared to those who have never played online. The "tips" that you pick up regarding playing on the internet are going to be less valuable to you in the end than grasping some deeper concepts that you can use in all games, live or otherwise.

That being said here are some:

What No One Else is Saying about Online Poker by Carl Varrone
Killer Poker Online by John Vorhaus
Online Ace, by Scott Fischman
Online Poker by Doyle Brunson
Internet Poker by Krieger and Watterson
Internet Texas Hold’em by Matt Hilger

Hilger's book is solid and Vorhaus' book is a nice complement of mental focus/strategy suggestions.
