I was going to nominate The Masters by C. P. Snow (of Two Cultures fame) from his Strangers and Brothers sequence, but was appalled to discover that not only is it not available as an ebook in the US, it's not even in print! It can be acquired elsewhere, but I'm taking that as a dealbreaker. Back to the drawing board.

ETA: Only £3.47 in the UK! Oh, and I looked again and it's in print in papberback in the US in a three-title volume for $20.

I don't know if this will get any traction or not as it is a little pricey, but maybe it will interest others as much as it does me.
This sounds intriguing to me. I checked the local university and while it has it, it's in the original translation which also seems to be abridged. The first wouldn't matter; the second does. So I shall have to think about it.
