It feels to me, like he has released the ebook version with no big fanfare deliberately. It is there now for his fans etc who want the ebook (been clamoring for it), but maybe due to his age, he is hoping to avoid the old controversy surfacing again. Good luck to him.
P.S. I don't think he has written anything in a while now, so maybe he isn't well etc ... perhaps feeling his mortality.

Katherine Kurtz's original Deryni trilogy, from the early 70's was converted to ebook by a fan for her, so it's entirely possible something similar may have happened. Can't say that I've ever heard of the listed publisher, Thornwall Press.
Writers like Kurtz and McKiernan are classic mid-tier writers, i.e. writers with a small and very loyal following, but never really broke through into best seller mode. I'm just happy that the books finally made it to eBooks. I can over look a typos.
