Yep, I did a quick check, All I found of your work up for dl was the Rings trilogy and Upstart and a short story.
I don't think I have EVER read any of your books and I have a pretty substantial paper library. Some 3500 books. 98% of which is paperback and bought 2nd hand. So either your books when bought are held onto or have poor distributation in first place at least in my area.
I commend you for making an effort to make your older books available as e-books at a reasonable rate. Most of the publishers could learn a lot from you. I always thought they were idiots to not sell older books as e-books cheaply. I only recently found out the publishers don't have the digital rights to most of those books, in which case I owe them a small apology. But more recent stuff that has been taken out of print to avoid the warehouse tax you mentioned would be great prospects for lesser priced e-book releases.
I would venture to say they already have most of the books from last decade or 2 in electronic form. All that is required at that point is some formatting as I see it assuming they have the digital rights. But I am just a reader, being neither an author nor a publisher, I certainly don't have all the answers. But I know charging as much or more for the ebook as a paper copy is overcharging.
