Happens quite often. Probably around 10% of the ebooks I've bought over the years from Baen are no longer available to new purchasers, although most are still available for me to download. As you say, it's due to contracts changing. One such author is Charles Sheffield. 17 of his books that I've bought from Baen over the years can no longer be bought.
