Sometimes it's a contract issue.
Sometimes it's because publishers are still working on getting out their back catalog and aren't always interested in spending the money of creating an ebook edition all by itself so they wait & do it when the pbook version is up for a new print run & they have to work on the book anyway.
Sometimes, who knows. All of the publishers do things that don't make sense, at least not to anyone but them.
We can only hope that it'll get better as ebooks mature. I like you won't buy a series with holes generally. If it's a series I've been reading in print for years I might continue on with ebooks, but that's different.
