I thought it would be a great idea to list your top 3 favorite books that you have read (or are available) in ebook format.

I'll stick with books I've read (or own) in ebook format.
1) Honor Harrington Series, Volumes 1 through 5, by David Weber. The first two are available for free from the Baen Free Library
http://www.baen.com/library/ I got the whole series as ebooks when I purchased a hardcover edition of the 10th book—I must admit I bought it mainly for the ebooks--it will probably be a year or so before I get around it reading.
2)
The Song of Kali by Dan Simmons. Available as multiformat from Fictionwise. This is an early horror novel by Simmons and not everyone likes it as much as his later novels or science fiction, but I thought it was very good.
3)
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. I think Atwood may have an unfair reputation as chicky and feminist writer distasteful to men. While there is no doubt that she is a chick and feminist, I’ve found her some of books quite interesting and captivating.
I’ll also nominate
Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut as a close runner up. Yeah, it is a first novel, not quite as great as his later work, but better than most first novels by other modern writers.
