I think you will see a number of thread lamenting geo restrictions, i.e. books being available as ebooks in one country but not another.

I think that HarryT has the right of it. The good news is that books slowly become available. Both Fiest's books and Eddings books were available in England well before being available in the US.

I have a number of books that were available as ebooks a number of years ago and are no longer available. It's not really what I expect with ebooks, but there you have it. It seems to me that books where the author is dead are more likely to fall in that category than books where the author is still active.
