Not necessarily.
The second print run might not have been as profitable for them, or the entire endeavor wasn't in their interest/financial goals. Latter was the case for Games Workshop's publishing and gaming imprint; company got scrapped despite their books selling out on the pre-order level.
And if the scenario you describe was Wizards of the Coast, their eBooks did get pirated...
