sounds like an interesting read, if it's not printed or available online...

from reading through the first few posts, i'd add the Richard K Morgan altered carbon series, as i'd recommend the sword of ice and fire series, even though it's like reading the grindingly longest book at times. the malazan books by steven Erikson get progressively better, or rather different, but it's rather common with heavy-duty 'epic' fantasy settings. much unlike reading the sword of truth or wheel of time series, which is endearing then torturous to get through past the 3rd-4th book.

also, the infinitely popular Jim Butcher's dresden files series and the Lilith Saintcrow Dante Valentine books, amongst others.

also, i'd pick Justina Robson's Quantum Gravity series (keeping it real, selling out, going under), though, not an ebook. though, i did find the first book as an ebook online long after i'd bought it, and there's sample chapters at the pyr books blog of books 2 and 3.

and, anything on the pyr books blog, in general. the resnick starship series looks interesting and possibly the brent weeks assassin series is in my queue to read next.
