Uh... no.
Shortages of paper editions may be less common than 10-20 years ago, but they still happen. If anything, the inability of the publishers / distributors / retailers to fulfill the orders quickly represents a (reasonable) lack of capacity.
And really, it's not like this one book requires rare earths to manufacture it. It's just an example of a limitation of paper that is easily mitigated by digital distribution.
