Hi Leo, there is a great book written by Herman Grooten. And Chessable.com will release soon a book on strategy, I recommend you to check it out there in one week. In Chessable you can learn using spaced repetition, which is very useful to memorise chess patterns.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Winning Chess Strategies by Seirawan is a good book and I believe it will be about the right level for you. It is easier than the Grooten book.
I'd also echo torrubirubi's advice to use chessable, there's lots of free stuff on there and it's good fun.
Some possibilities:

Leo796g, the book by Grooten is very well written and suited to your level. I would suggest to buy the digital version. I have both the digital version and a paper edition.
yes, Herman grooten's book is very good but to get most from a book practice the move-orders in a real chessboard, that's adviced by authors like Yusupov v,Kasparov and many.

chessbased, you are right about using a physical board. Nevertheless I think that a digital book is not bad, especially if you want to work with the book and it is difficult to use a physical board (in an aeroplane) or you don’t have one with you. But you can also use a physical board with a e-book, the options are not mutually exclusive.

If I use a board I need two, as it is not easy for me to reconstruct the positions.
