(For background, I'm a faculty at Carnegie Mellon University in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute) For best books, it depends on if you want to understand users or do implementation. But generally, I'd highly recommend Don Norman's The Design of Everyday Things to improve how you look at the world, and Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think for simple and practical design tips. For tools, the best is paper prototypi…
I even had my Software Engineering students read excepts this semester.

Design has always been short on useful publications because it is a rapidly developing field that publishers often fear it has no shelf life.

Are any of those prototyping tools open source and free?
Most prototyping tools let you export to PDF on PNG, but they usually aren't going to be open source.
