I think it's just bad luck. The publisher goes digital and starts releasing e-books after the first x volumes of the series are already in print. Ambiguous contracts or lossy workflows make it not worth the effort for the publisher to go make some older works available as e-books just because they happen to be the initial volumes of a series. Them's the breaks.
