A good jumping on point is The Destiny Trilogy which is also available as a omnibus edition both in print and ebook formats as it explains all the things that have happened to the Enterprise, The Titan and Voyager and you can always go back and read the titles set previously.
I just picked up the Destiny omnibus. I have read a good chunk of the DS9 relaunch books but have lost track, so this seems like a good place to jump back in. I like that these newer series are integrating all of the various crews and shows together.
Some insane things that have happened though, aren't there! The first 50 pages of the book have casually mentioned things from previous books like
Picard became Locutus again, Janeway died (I am quite happy about that) and Dr. Crusher is pregnant with Picard's baby!
A big thread resurrection, but I have been getting back into Trek in a big way and have started devouring books alongside watching. Everything that's been released since around 2000 seems to form one big new continuity that continues on after TNG/DS9/VOY (and Enterprise).
Full geek that I am, I've been putting together a reading order for both chronological and release orders.
Currently I'm going through the Terok Nor trilogy which details the Cardassian occupation and it's fantastic. The authors really worked to make the story fit in with so many established details and characters from the TV shows.
After that, I'll be doing the TNG books that lead up to Nemesis (the "A Time To..." series). None of this is official, of course, but the writers and editors have made a such an effort to keep continuity between everything that it's pretty much like getting a new series (and it seems highly unlikely that any film/TV material is going to contradict this any time in the near future).
