Name a book and it's probably on someone's computer system somewhere.
Talking about in English, this is also a function of how recent it is and how popular it is. Stephen King? Likely to be out there the next day, if not sooner.

Random author X who sells 1027 copies of a book only is a 'possibly never' to maybe eventually. And it it is from 1974? Whenever someone feels like scanning it or selling it.

The 'Ripoff' samples I did which were reasonably recent books showed availability in the 90+ percentage. Including some ebooks that were not on sale at all digitally.
