There are quite a few David Nobbs books to choose from. The first 3 books in the Henry Pratt series are available in a single volume as The Complete Pratt. Volume 4 is Pratt a Manger. Amongst his later works are Going Gently, It Had To Be You, and Sex and Other Changes. Currently I'm reading A Bit of a Do and Fair Do's, which were made as a TV series many years ago. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available on DVD.
Being a fan of the radio series My Word and My Music with (amongst others) Frank Muir and Denis Norden I was surprised to learn recently that Frank Muir had written a novel, The Walpole Orange, shortly before he died. It's well worth a read for the wit and humour. His Oxford Book of Humorous Prose is somewhat older, and probably not available as an ebook. It contains a good selection of humorous prose from about 400 years of English literature.
Another of my favourite humorous authors is Peter Ustinov. His autobiography, Dear Me, and at least one of his novels are available as ebooks.
