ScribD I'm familiar with, would maybe subscribe just for these if it's available and lawful in my territory (Canada).
Otherwise, I really hope a legal ebook source becomes available soon, because by the time they become public domain (if ever!) I'll be either too damned old or too damned dead to care!
And yes, I would buy the print versions, if only I had the equipment to read them. Unfortunately I have not won the lottery and therefore cannot afford the device recommended by my CNIB tech guy. Extreme low vision/legal blindness sucks, I suggest you avoid it at all costs if you possibly can. :-(

I would be pretty surprised if they are legit. Asimov wrote the Black Widower stories starting in the early 70's. Unless he failed to include notice of copyright (very unlikely), they are under copyright for at least another 50 or 60 years. A quick look on the web indicates that his daughter is actively managing his literary estate. I generally go to Amazon and click on the "I would like to read this on the kindle" link. I don't know if that does any good, but unless you can get in touch with Robyn Asimov, it's the best I can think of.
