Mmm... it's difficult to recommend books in your own mother-tongue. A native speaker is not aware of the difficulty of a certain author for foreign readers. However, I think that Cervantes for a beginner in Spanish is like Shakespeare for a beginner in English!
I've made a search in Project Gutenberg and found some books that I could recommend. For example, something by Juan Valera ("Pepita Jiménez" or "Juanita la Larga" are nice books) or by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez ("La Barraca", or "Cañas y Barro"). You could also try some from Benito Pérez Galdós ("Fortunata y Jacinta", for example). I like a lot Galdós... it find him similar to Victor Hugo.
Regarding "alive" authors, you could try something from Eduardo Mendoza, or Gonzalo Torrente Ballester ("Crónica del rey pasmado" is short and quite funny). But I'm afraid they are not avalaible as ebooks.
Hope this helps,
