Sadly loads of out good of print books you'd not get a copy of anywhere. Some PD and many copyright. But if the author is really famous and alive today, no matter how much DRM there is, there are "free" copies.
When are the Traditional publishers going to wake up? If they don't there may only be archive org and Amazon.
Put the ebooks out without DRM. Make POD available for every title out of print, the top priced fiction of print runs wholesale price still makes a profit on POD. Text book price madness. You could PAY someone to make scan PDF + OCR for the price of some.
Personally I think if you are alive you should charge SOMETHING for an ebook, even if only 99c.
