The best anthology I've read which actually is ebook'd is Masterpieces: The Best Science Fiction of the Twentieth Century, selected and edited by Orson Scott Card. Widely available as an ebook.

Best collection I've read by a single author are "that is ebook'd" is
Neutron Star by Larry Niven

The best I've read period in the genres you mention are:

Future on Ice, also edited by Orson Scott Card
Folk of the Fringe, "written by" Orson Scott Card
Women of Wonder: The Contemporary Years edited by Pamela Sargent
The Hugo Winners, Volume 4: 1976-1979 edited by Isaac Asimov
Strange Dreams, edited by Stephen R. Donaldson

And there is a 4 book series of military sci/fi which includes 3 novellas in each called Alien Stars (1-4, 2-4 have their own sub-name), published originally by Baen Books. Doesn't seem to be available on their site in ebook but it is very good. Serious and humorous stories. The authors include Joe Haldeman, Timothy Zahn, Nancy Springer, Robert Silverberg, Norman Spinrad, Gregory Benford, C.J. Cherryh, David Drake, Lois McMaster Bujold and Orson Scott Card.
