And I do not believe your claim that the books these reader that read 1-2 books per year want to buy are old back list books that are not available. Of course it could happen but I do not believe at all that it happens so often that it is worth keeping all back list books in print. And if it is back list books like part of a popular series they will be available.
So can you give any titles of back list books that are not available and were you think so many causal readers would like to buy this book so it is worth keeping it in print? I do not see how they can look for the same book and at the same time the publisher will not be able to see that that will happen and provide the book.
