If you're interested in the original novels, The Warrior Trilogy is available through Amazon's print-on-demand service if you want a nice hard copy of the book and live in a region that offers that service (Sadly, still no bundle for them though, Need to buy them individually.)
The digital books are available through a number of storefronts and I believe that Catalyst is beginning to migrate a number of books over to Audio-book formats.
If you live countries that support the service, Amazon has "Print-on-Demand" options for all the core Battletech novels at an affordable price.
If you're a fan of Legends of the Kestrel Lancers, check out the Warrior Trilogy.
If you want to tee yourself up for Rise of Rasalhague, check out Heir to the Dragon.

Although the older books are no longer in print, they have been reissued in ebook form. I found a few via Amazon.
Most people recommend the Warrior Trilogy as it starts right when most of the BT lore begins are the start of the 4th Succession War ~3025.
The Gray Death Saga is also a great start, I think, and I prefer the focused story of these books very the grand political intrigue of Warrior. It really hammers home that 3025 is almost post-apocalyptic fiction which I love.
Depends on how you like to consume lore.
The house books mentioned by someone else are histories of the major houses. Useful, but the free downloads lack art from what I recall.

(More on Sarna).
Speaking of: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Main_Page Is the wiki. Great for overviews and references, not a super run read through, and lacks lots of tiny details.
The books are most common (beyond playing games like MW again). I'd say grab the first of the Warrior Trilogy (rereleased for $5 on Amazon Kindle). See how you like the writing. It's pretty aged. Feels very 80s action pulp, but the universe is explored through more stories and characters than reading straight up histories. Also, keep a phone on hand to reference mechs and factions while reading Sarna.
