That way you get the indie price, but the BPH quality editing.

Since I like a lot of the same backlist from that time period (see the backlist thread in the recommendations forum), I tend to pay a lot of attention to what is said about various books and series that I'm interested in.
Some authors actively pursue ebooks, others are happy to let the publishers deal with it. Most books from that time require scanning since it's pretty rare for such books to already be in digital format. So you still have to deal with ebooks that were poorly edited from the stand point of scanning errors. That's getting better as scanning technology improves, but it still exists.
