I wouldn't say an idiot so much as not all that interested in seeing the books published as ebooks. A lot of times, the literary estate simply isn't actively marketing the books, but rather waiting for someone to do all the work for them. For an author, the books are their life. For the heirs, it's more just something that's kind of out there that might be worth some money, kind of like your grandfather's coin collection. If someone approaches them, they might be interested, but it has to be for the right price. Most of these books would barely make back what it cost to commercially produce the ebook.
