This was the case of a couple of series I enjoyed. Looking at the author's web page, there are several reasons why this happens. I'm sure there are others.
1. Rights reverted to author or author's estate.
2. Rights sold to another publisher.
3. Rights had a limited shelf life and reverted to original publisher.
In these instances, I just get a copy of the book, have it scanned and convert it for use in my ereaders and move on. Of course, this is only for a handful of books where I really WANT the complete series.
