Welcome to public domain.
Of course, as long as those editions are in PD, and you are willing to put in the time and effort, you could either fix some of those yourself or round people up to work with you on it.
But I expect most PD readers don't particularly care about editions or even the quality of the translation. They just want free stuff, and most aren't fussy about the quality.

No reflow, font will likely look like crap, if it isn't OCR'ed anyway you can't search. Having more fonts in ebooks would be handy, but it's not that important, and I for one don't need the illusion that I'm reading a paper book. I'll take legible over old-timey any day.
