I suspect you're probably talking about long series (more than 3 or 4 books), but the main disincentive I've had for buying the series I love in e-book format is that one volume in the series is not available. That's the case with both John Crowley's Aegypt/The Solitudes tetralogy and Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy.

I just can't bring myself to buy the e-books until I know they'll all be available. What's the point of having volumes 1, 2 and 4, but not volume 3 (Crowley), or volumes 1 and 2 but not volume 3 (Barker)?
