Actually, all but one of Lois McMaster Bujold's books are in e-book format, though if your e-reader is a new one and you haven't gone looking for the more obscure sources, perhaps you may not have found them yet.
All the Vorkosigan books are available worldwide via Baen's Webscription, and if you get
Cryoburn as either an e-book or the hardcover, you also get a CD containing all the rest plus the
Vorkosigan Companion, except for
Memory.
You can also get the books via the Fifth Imperium site which mirrors Baen's freely-redistributable promotional CD-ROMs, but considering that you get nearly all the books on them, might as well pay for at least one, considering it's only $6. Besides
Memory, that is.
The Chalion and Sharing Knife books are available from publisher HarperCollins in all the major e-booksellers, in North America, at least.
The Spirit Ring is available worldwide via Fictionwise, which holds the occasional 40%+ coupon discount sale, which are the best times to buy from them now that they've gone so far downhill from what they once were.
I think only
Dreamweaver's Dilemma is missing, and that one was a specialty NESFA publication.
As for the OP, good sources of entertaining science fiction are the
Baen Free Library and
Webscriptions store,
Tor.com (short stories in downloadable reader formats),
BookViewCafé (plenty of free short stories and novellas to sample, plus online serial reads; run by the authors themselves and you get MultiFormat DRM-free previously traditionally-published books by established midlist genre authors, for $4.99 or less).
Fictionwise still has a good number of reprinted backlist titles by midlist authors in their MultiFormat sections, although you'll have to look up the individual authors/publisher imprints for the best selection of stuff you're more likely to enjoy.
