For D-Day specifically here are a few to consider...
The Longest Day - Cornelius Ryan
D-Day - Antony Beevor
D-Day - Stephen Ambrose
Overlord: D-Day and the Battle for Normandy - Max Hastings (no eBook AFAIK)
Omaha Beach - Joseph Balkoski
Utah Beach - Joseph Balkoski
Juno Beach Trilogy - Mark Zuehlke
Rick Atkinson has a new D-Day book coming out in May (ahead of the 70th anniversary) that might be of interest.
There's also the
US Army's "Green Books" histories of WW2 . One of the titles,
Cross-Channel Attack covers D-Day. They can be downloaded free as PDF's, not sure if there are ePub's out there somewhere as well or not.

It would be great if some more of the oldies made it to digital. Some good older stuff has been slowly making it's way to market so I'm hopeful. I'm hoping some WWI titles will be making a digital appearance soon too since August is the 100th anniversary of the start of that conflict.
BTW I'm unfamiliar with Lydell-Hart, you don't mean B.H. Liddell Hart by chance do you? If not can you point me in the right direction?
