Having read or at least skimmed most of those books, I think the best intro is 'CUDA Programming: A Developer's Guide to Parallel Computing with GPUs'

Massively Parallel Processors: A Hands-on Approach is not really good in my opinion, many small mistakes and confusing sentences (even when you know cuda).

CUDA by Example: An Introduction to General-Purpose GPU Programming is too simple and abstract too much the architecture.

Next year I'm planning to start writing a cuda book that starts by engineering the hardware, and goes up to the optimization part on that harware (which is basically a nvidia card) including all the main algorithms (except for graphs).

I'm already teaching the course in this way at uni, and it is quite successful among students.
