SF authors with a strong paperback back list are missing a significant revenue stream if they don't authorize e-books. This is a great way to get your existing readers to pay you all over again for the same books (if the price is reasonable). The Pournelle re-releases on Baen are a good example, he reports being surprised at how well they are selling. I bought the entire set, because it is a real pleasure to reread them at my convenience in e-book form (it is no trouble to leave them on the memory card until I am ready for some Pournelle). I would definitely buy Brust e-books, even with DRM (which I try to avoid).
