Sanderson's Way of the Kings is off to a great start. I read the first, and only published, book over Christmas and it is excellent. The start is a bit slow but it picks up nicely.
On a slightly different note: If you enjoyed Harry Potter you will probably enjoy the graphic novels "Tim Hunter: Age of Magic" It is a very similar concept and a lot darker but it is really well done. Also ABC Comics ran a series called Promethia that is by far one of the best written series I have ever encountered. Really great use of mythology, history, religion and awesome art. Neil Gaimon's Sandman series is brilliant. On a lighter note, there is the Elf Quest series by Wendi and Richard Pini that is extrodinarily good.
I know they cannot be read on e-reader, or I wouldn't read them on an e-reader unless it was 10 inches and in color, but they are very well done comic series that are very enjoyable.
I think sometimes we ignore the realm of comics and graphic novels because they are deemed to be very different then books and literature but these are some of my favorite series and are deserving of much praise.
