Yes, this happens to me more than I'd like to admit. Sometimes I just need to give it time, and eventually I'll get absorbed. Other boos just never catch on, and I spend literally months slogging through before giving up half or even 3/4 of the way through.
As for the converse, there are certainly books and authors I've found because they were ebooks. Bill Bryson comes to mind. I bought A Short History of Nearly Everything on as an ebook when it first came out on a whim and I've since read and/or listened to everything else he's written. If it hadn't been on the front page of the Palm Digital Media (as it was back then) website, I never would have found an author I greatly enjoy now.
