So you don't think that because the 4th part actually does exist, that having done Amazon and the Author a favor (giving them money etc for the first 3 parts), that they don't have any obligation to me, to let me buy the 4th part?
Remembering of course, that these aren't stand-alone novels in a series, but parts of a much shorter story, that is incomplete without the last part.

I'm not unsympathetic to the situation, but in such a circumstance if having the complete series is high on your priority list, the sensible thing to do is to wait until the complete series is released before buying any of it.

Generally I wouldn't argue with that.

I dislike "serial" releases for this reason. There is never a guarantee that the story will be finished and/or accessible to you. It's a classic case of "caveat emptor".

I usually don't get my ebooks until the last part is written, but it depends on the price. Which for many of these items, goes up and down. Best to buy at a good price, while you can.
I am also one of those people who collects most of the novels in a series before I start to read them ... but that's another story.
