I guess we travel in different circles then. Books may not be in the same category as games, movies, TV and recorded music but in general, if something is popular/anticipated enough, its out there. The casual surfer can sometimes find TV shows that are still weeks away from air-dates available on the net. Some movies are available only after the DVD is issued whereas others are available as soon as the movie is distributed to the theaters (and I am not talking about cams or anything dodgy like that) and some are actually available before they hit the theater. For games and software I cannot speak b/c in my world (FOSS) all games/software are free and available instantly if not before (due to beta testing, etc).
So sorry, you are working under a false assumption...pretty much anything can be had at any time (within reason) if you know where to look.
