Baen has already found the answers to your questions. Pretty much everything they publish is available electronically, in all major formats, without DRM, no later than when the paper version hits the shelves (and often sooner, in the form of ARCs - Advanced Reader Copies, for which the author gets a significantly higher royalty). Their webscription service is thriving.
(And for what it's worth, their free library directly drives sales of both paper and ebooks, often for the very books that are free. On Basilisk Station has been their best seller multiple times over the years, despite being one of the very first books they offered for free.)
