With the exception of Baen, all of these examples seem to be of authors or their estate starting with pirated ebooks. I know Walter Jon Williams also did this, but he also offered rewards for fans who could provide him with a few ebooks he was missing. I provided the base for Days of Atonement. I am pretty sure he did full copyediting for all of his ebooks created from the pirated ebooks.
I would be wary of self-published ebooks from Norman Spinrad. The Kindle ebook of The Mind Game was not copyedited, and had problems like missing italics and incorrect paragraph breaks.
