Heck, they're not even taking exclusive ebook rights.
Double heck, they are even giving away a lot of their books for free. There is the free library of course, but also, in the last hardcover book I got from the library, there was a CD in the back, which, much to my delighted surprise had almost every work written to date by the author (David Weber). I was amazed, I already have almost all of them in pBooks, but now an e version - for free!! Most of these books I'm sure are well beyond their prime sales dates so giving them away is not costing Baen too much in lost sales, in fact I'd bet that they come out way ahead when you factor in good will and publicity - I know they keep getting favorably mentioned here!
