Tsume Shogi is a free app that has a collection of Shogi endgame problems
The book "Japanese Chess - The Game of Shogi" by Trevor Leggett is an English language introduction to Shogi.
I also purchased a set of books from the website Nekomado Shop: http://shop.nekomado.com/ The books are in English, translated from the Japanese originals. The series is called "Shogi at a Glance". I haven't received them yet, but I am looking forward to checking them out. This website offers Shogi equipment and also has other English language books on Shogi.
