I agree completely - while many series can be read out of order without any trouble, I prefer to read them as written. It's only logical to follow a series from start to finish, as the author wrote them (or in some cases intended them to be written). But most publishers just don't get it. Publishing say, book # 6 of a series in e-book format, reducing the price or giving it away free IS NOT GOING TO SELL MORE BOOKS!
