I believe Penguin was taking these and cutting them up into smaller ebooks. There was a big complaint that Patricia Brigg's "Alpha and Omega" series was hard to get into, because the characters were introduced in one of these compilations but the first book jumped into events without skipping a beat, so many were lost. Luckily Penguin offered the ebook of the short story, and I knew about it before I started the series.
