Some of Stasheff's early stuff showed up in January in the Amazon Kindle store. I've picked up the first 3 of his Warlock of Gramarye series. I really do wish that there was a service like authoralert where they would notify me when certain authors or books show up as ebooks. I generally find them by going into amazon on an irregular basis and searching for specific books and authors. They don't make it easy to automate the process though.
I suspect that the biggest issue for a lot of the pre-computer backlist is simply there is no one with a financial interest who is pushing the process. It actually takes a certain amount of effort and expense secure the rights, then scan and proof read a book and most of these older books just aren't going to generate a huge return on investment.
