Btw. I think it's great, the way you "embrace" the eBook phenomenon. I plan to visit Smashwords soon...

Eternity's End works fine as a stand-alone novel--and in fact, it's one I often recommend to someone who wants to try my work without getting into a whole series. The Star Rigger books are part of a shared universe, but are all stand-alone, with the exception of Dragon Rigger, which is best read following Dragons in the Stars.
The Chaos Chronicles, in contrast, are a continuing story. You should ideally read them in sequence--though, as with all my series stories, I took care to make the later books understandable even if you come in in the middle.
(Eternity's End, by the way, was a Nebula finalist but not a winner. The award that year went to Catherine Asaro's Quantum Rose.)
One of the reasons I've embraced ebooks as a writer is that I enjoy them as a reader!
