In my experience, many authors have no interest in getting their rights back to self-publish their backlists. They just aren't interested in it, so for a reader who hasn't been able to get copies of their favourite books without stealing them from the local library, this is pretty exciting for them.
I'm really happy that your book is getting out again, though! I know that frustrates you regarding the royalty rates and all that, but (speaking as a reader here), if I come across your released backlist, like it, and see that you have a ton of other books on Amazon, I'm the type of person to buy everything you've written. I figure any time your work is being published and republished, it's a good thing and quite a compliment to your work. It's something to celebrate for sure!
