Afraid they (it's 6 or 7 massive volumes) are not. NESFA never negotiated ebook rights.

There is a significant copy/edit error in the original book version. It's corrected in the NESFA Press edition, matching the original serialization, but I don't know if it is corrected here.

This usenet post compares both the original paperback book and magazine versions of the misprinted passage:

My edition of the ebook, same publisher, but from Kobo, is dated a couple of months earlier than the one from Amazon, and it contains the uncorrected version.

The books and stories in Mike Resnick's "Birthright" universe truly can be read in any order at all. Even the ones that are clearly sequential internally within the ouvre (Santiago, Widowmaker, Soothsayer/Oracle/Prophet as "miniseries". Maybe the three Eros books make more sense in order, but that's about it.) each book provides enough individual background that not only to they work as stand-alones, they can also make the earlier books more intriguing ("how did Penelope survive before this?")

For me, it was great fun to stumble across a favorite character from a previous book, and it really doesn't matter if the adventure you're reading comes before or after one you've read before.
Again, I'm going to disagree. This is a series and should be read in order.

Thank you for the additional information on this. Interesting info, too, about the dragon.
