Don't forget that this is not necessarily the fault of the author, sometimes it is simply that there has not been enough demand for a publisher to do another print run - or these days to convert to ebook. It may be that the issue of books being unavailable will gradually diminish. I don't think it is fair to force someone to start giving away their books just because they have been (so far) unable to make it available.
