I was looking at e-books at the library, and they had books 2 and 3 of a series, but not book one. What good is that to anyone? It's not good for the readers, and it isn't good for the author. If all the books are available, people will check them out more, and thus the libraries will have to buy more.
I'm not inclined to say "The library doesn't have book 1, so I had better buy it," I'm more inclined to read something else instead.
