If we are going with books that were first published in 2014, there were really only a handful of books published this year that I would re-read (my benchmark for good). Larry Correia's Monster Hunter Nemisis was probably my favorite of the group. I liked Garth Nix's Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen as well, though it was a bit darker than I expected.
If we are talking about books that I first read in 2014, or books that finally became available as ebooks in 2014 in the US, there were quite a few. The new Roger Zelazny ebooks, the Karl Edward Wagner ebooks, Mercedes Lackey's Tregarde series, the Fionavar Tapestry by Kay and the Belgarion series were all highlights.
Books that I first read in 2014 would be Ready Player One.
There were also some non fiction that I thought was well done, including Bret Steven's "America in Retreat" (politically charged, but very well written). Nicholas Wade's book "A Troublesome Inheritance" was very interesting and thought provoking.
The non fiction highlight for backlist books that came out as ebooks is Sears' Chancellorsville.
