Dutch teachers such as Jan van Delden and Hans Laurentius also have essays and satsang extracts translated into English. New issues come available several times per year.

There is an e-book introduction to Advaita by D. Krishna Ayyar that can be read in full on-line. Despite claiming to be 'a presentation for beginners' this is very comprehensive covering practically any topic that you might think of. This is a classical treatment that uses all of the correct Sanskrit terminology.

Another e-book is partially presented at 'Garland of Advaitic Wisdom'. This advertises the complete book by Ajati, a devotee of Ramana Maharshi. With an emphasis on ajati-vada, the theory that nothing has ever been created, a number of pages are available on line. There are quotations from a number of classic Advaita scriptures as well as from Ramana Maharshi, Zen and Tao.

An excellent, step by step, Introduction to Advaita, presented in the form of a dialogue (of 1008 single lines) has been written by Professor V. Krishnamurthy and may be downloaded as a PDF file from the Advaitin site.
