I have no inside info, but the answer to this seems clear to me: If they're working to set up distribution through Baen Books, why would they invest in the infrastructure to sell a small number of book through their own website? I'm sure it's not a trivial matter given that it would just be an interim thing. (That's probably why they're going through Baen in the first place.) Isn't it better that they put their resources into finalizing the Baen system and converting all those other books into ebook format so that they
can be released as soon as possible?
This all takes time and manpower.
And before you say, let them hire more people, I'm putting in a prior claim for them to hire more people to process authors' contracts and royalties faster. :)
