Seconded. Unfortunately, not available as an ebook as far as I know.

I just today finished his Quadrail series and it's now one of my favorites.

Again, seconded. There's a Smashwords edition for $2.99, and it's coupon-able at Kobo.

A few more suggestions:

Mother of Demons by Eric Flint, available for free at The Fifth Imperium. The Baen CDs are in really worth looking through. Though the bulk are military SF (not really my thing), there is still a smattering of really worthwhile SF and fantasy. If you end up liking mil-SF, though, the CDs are the jackpot (several hundred books, I think).

Jack Chalker's Four Lords of the Diamond series (1, 2, 3, 4) is one that I have in paper and ebook and re-read often.

My favorite SF author is probably Alan Dean Foster. The Flinx and Pip series is excellent and I've enjoyed everything else of his that I've read. Unfortunately, many of his standalone novels are out-of-print and not available in ebook.
