What might happen is you'll go hit up the darknet to find 1 & 2 and also see maybe if 3 is available as well. Now if 1-3 has all been available, you would have purchased them. When publishers do a 1/2 assed job, it can and often does drive people to the darknet.
You are describing the operation of the "criminal mind", Jon. What an HONEST person would do is say "OK, book 3 is available as an eBook; I'll buy 1 and 2 as paperbacks".
