That is of course totally true, however the publishers now have the opportunity to publish them as e-books as well, making the books available to a wider range of buyers, (with no printing costs to them), and the books can be always available without any chance of them going 'out of print'.
There have been a number of times when I've started a book series in the middle, and found that previous books in the series have been unavailable.
