1. **State the problem:**
We want to evaluate the integral $$\int \frac{e^{2x}}{(e^{2x} - 1)^3} \, dx$$ where $x \neq 0$.
2. **Identify substitution:**
Let $$u = e^{2x} - 1$$ so that $$du = 2e^{2x} dx \implies e^{2x} dx = \frac{du}{2}$$.
3. **Rewrite the integral in terms of $u$:**
$$\int \frac{e^{2x}}{(e^{2x} - 1)^3} dx = \int \frac{1}{u^3} \cdot e^{2x} dx = \int \frac{1}{u^3} \cdot \frac{du}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \int u^{-3} du$$.
4. **Integrate using the power rule:**
Recall $$\int u^n du = \frac{u^{n+1}}{n+1} + C$$ for $n \neq -1$.
Here, $n = -3$, so
$$\frac{1}{2} \int u^{-3} du = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{u^{-2}}{-2} + C = -\frac{1}{4} u^{-2} + C$$.
5. **Substitute back to $x$:**
$$-\frac{1}{4} (e^{2x} - 1)^{-2} + C$$.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{-\frac{1}{4 (e^{2x} - 1)^2} + C}$$
