It's a book and it won't be hard to find an ebook version.

That's kind of annoying. I knew a lot of his stuff was available in ebook form but that's one I've always had to hand in hard copy so I admit I've never actually checked. Pretty amazing that it's not readily available as an ebook given its place in his canon.
Backup choice:
Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
That one definitely isn't a problem to source in ebook form and has some very EVE-relevant themes.

- Blindsight by Peter Watts - probably the best hard sci-fi book of our generation. Besides the paper version, it is available as a free e-book download from the author's website under Creative Commons (but you should buy it, it's absolutely worth it).
- Anything (but especially the Revelation Space saga) by Alastair Reynolds. Dark hard sci-fi with baroque overtones, which is very reminiscent of EVE and is just... beautiful.
- And, of course, anything and everything by Iain M. Banks. As far as space operas go, his stuff is anything but dark (nor it is particularly hard as far as the genre goes), but what a bloody diamond the man was!

Aha, finally! It is a shame that Lem is not as famous in the English-speaking world as he is in Poland and Russia, but he was definitely one of the most funny, depressing, charming, bitter and thought-provoking -- often all at the same time -- writers of the 20th century.
