Similar as in military-ish or Space Opera-ish or contact with aliens? (Compared to Tanya Huff's Confederation.)

Vatta's War by Elizabeth Moon. More Space Opera. All human. Trade based.

Kris Longknife by Mike Shepherd/Moscoe. More Military with aliens.

Liaden series by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. Space Opera w/ little military. Mix of male and female protagonists. Mix of human cultures with aliens.

Vorkosigan by Lois McMaster Bujold. Space Opera with a military culture influence. Mix of human cultures. Mostly focuses on the male protagonist Miles.

Not sure if they are eBooks but Lisanne Norman's Sholan Alliance is based around cat-like aliens with a human living among them. Female protagonist with a furry feel, no military.

Anything by C.J. Cherryh is worth reading. The Foreigner series is plant-bound based around humans colonizing a planet already inhabited by sentient aliens. Tons of diplomacy not much action. The male protagonist is the official culture and language translator.
