She doesn't self publish, she simply held on to the ebook rights to her books. She had a good agent who thought to put that in the contract. There are actually quite a few authors who own the ebook rights to their backlist books. Others are quite happy to allow their publishers to handle all that.
(just as a note, there are quite a few older authors who simply aren't that interested in ebooks. )
