I notice that all the Doc Smith Lensman books are available as ebooks in Amazon, except the Grey Lensman, which apparently has been removed for some problem. Is this one of those situations where someone has put orphaned books up, even though they aren't the copyright holder? I know that Gutenberg has Triplanetary and First Lensman available, but apparently the remainder of the series had their copyrights renewed and won't be PD until 95 years after the initial publication date
(Galactic Patrol - 1937, Gray Lensman - 1939, Second Stage Lensman - 1941 and Children of the Lens -1947)
