Whoops, sorry, but yeah, wouldn't that be nice... apparently Nemoptic is working on something like it.

Again, whoops, sorry, got confused, it's been a long time since and I read them out of order (which must be why I thought it was a sequel). I wish she *would* do some more on that line...

The closest to a long series that I'm currently enjoying are the Dragaera books of Steven Brust. Especially recommended for Zelazny fans. (Or, in some cases, Dumas fans. ) Brust is currently looking into making his books available as ebooks.
I noticed that most of the books I recommended aren't available... *sigh* and I was hoping to *finally* have complete series in some format. I'll check out Brust (hopefully he'll be e-out soon).
