oh yes, absolutely !!!! there are many books i would like to read but they are out of print and impossible to find. and then there are those which are out of print, and a few copies can be found, but for outrageous prices. i can't wait for the day when ALL books are available, because an e-text by definition can never be "out of print". hopefully the publishers will start making their back catalogues available in the next few years. even if they only sell a fraction of their new release sales, it will still be profitable for them for minimal investment.
