I'm particularly fond of Way Station, which won the 1964 Hugo for best novel. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to be available as an ebook in the UK at the moment.

It definitely was available at some point, from SF Gateway, since that's where I got mine. It had quite a lot of scannos I seem to remember, so maybe it got pulled for quality control.
A lot of the early SF masters are very dry, relying on the ideas to carry them, but Simak's book have a peculiar atmosphere that I like, and that makes them work even when the ideas are thin.
