This a very good book who starts with a theoretical view about the difference of the mobile UX experience versus a desktop. It then goes to talk about mobile wireframing and mobile UX patterns. It ends with chapters on mobile native apps versus web apps.

Decent basic overview with clear graphics for anyone just starting on mobile ux. A bit dated though (I read the 2014 version).

Very simple books and some mixing between UI and UX, chapter 6 (UX patterns for mobile) should be UI patterns. It's suitable for beginner

"Mobile User Experience" read like someone summarizing general internet searches on the topic (without many references), instead of bringing anything new to the table. This book was not ready for prime time.
