ZBS, It's not just "serious" titles. There are many books of Foreign Language than have been translated that aren't available in e-book form. Here's a serious example - where's the e-book of Ostwald Spengler's Decline Of The West?
It's in the public domain in German. (Spengler died in 1936, it went PD in 2007)

Or: (In no particular order)

The Don Camillo comedy books. (From Italian)

The Horse Without a Head. (from the French)

Stanislaw Lem? (from Polish)

I think it iis the end result of the blockbuster mentality. If it's not a blockbuster, publishers aren't going to lift a finger...
