Another choice may be needed -- something along the lines of "series is still good and you have no real complaints about it, but you're just deciding to use the reading time on other titles now."
I stopped reading Spenser about 8 books back -- no complaints and the books were still a lot of fun and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, but I was just becoming less inclined to read series. Same story with the 87th Precinct. Read all of Zelazny's Amber novels, but didn't keep them even though I enjoyed them (you'd have to shoot me to take my NESFA set of his short fiction). The only series I'll still buy is Lawrence Block's Matt Scudder series. Have read a number of Lee Child's and they're fun too. But.
It's possible that if every title in the Spenser and 87th Precinct books were available for Kindle, I'd grab them all and dive back in because shelf space was also an issue in my decision to cut back on series titles (I was always one to grab the hardcover rather than wait for the paperback). But it's iffy. These days, paper or ebook, I tend not to pick up a book at all if I know it's the start of a series.
