I jumped away from fiction into history for awhile too and half my reading wasn't in ebooks but I took a look and found 3 in ebook that I read and would recommend. The historical fiction The Coffee Traders by David Liss lead me to an actual history of coffee (not in ebook) which was a neat read about 300 years, and then I decided to follow that thread and I read these 2 which are ebook available.
Salt: A World History
Spice: The History of a Temptation
Then I read a great ebook about G. Washington "His Excellency: George Washington" by Joseph Ellis. Explained a lot about why all those guys - Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, all thought Washington was the best of them. A fine read. A couple of Ellis's other books have won major awards, I expect this one will to.
Hope that helps.
