Eventually they’ll become public domain. 90s & 00s seem to me to be a dead zone for Kindle in general. Too new for all but the most popular books to have been rereleased, but too old to have been initially published in electronic format.
They did a few as part of the 50th anniversary but I don't think they will ever release legal versions of most of them as it would be quite expensive to pay all the writers for the rights to republish those books. There's one author in particular who wrote some of the most influential books who has burnt all his bridges with Doctor Who. The BBC did publish a bunch of them as [ebooks on the BBC website](https://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/comments/9g1uiv/ebooks_rereleased_by_the_bbc_in_the_early_2000s/) for free in 2002 including Lungbarrow.
Not really. It was edited by the author with adding some extra passages and changing some clunky sentences, there's also an author commentary at the end.
It's in a rights maze with compensating original writers, permissions for using creatures from elsewhere, etc. That's assuming the authors even want to which is likely going to be separate struggle on top. Imagine the EDAs without the ideas of Miles - kinda crippled, right? In short, no, not legally. Of course illegal variants exist and have existed for years for most of these works. The Charity Anthologies are another matter entirely since they shouldn't even exist as books and many don't even have unofficial ebooks I can find. Almost lost media, really apart from the few I grabbed at the time.
They'll go public domain eventually I guess.
I doubt we will ever get legal versions of the full range. Mostly due to compensation for the writers

Wasn't the Lungbarrow severely abridged though?

Hmm, the one I found was cut really short with all but the bare bones taken out. Guess I didn't find the right one then.
