Sorry, I forgot to include the "DRMed" qualifier to "eBooks" in my final sentence (now corrected).

I will say, given patience, ebooks are cheaper than paper books. It is common to find ebooks priced at $2.99 or less. Granted, The Once And Future King may not be $2.99 'on demand', but if you watch for a sale, it will be. At least, that's been my experience.

Yes, but the amount of waiting and searching involved would probably be considered prohibitive by most people, particularly if the books involved are part of an ongoing series (meaning you'd want to read them in order and before sufficient time has passed that you start to forget elements of the previous book).
Also I'd suggest that "common to find eBooks priced at $2.99 or less" does not necessarily equate to there being a good probability that a
specific book will eventually become available in that price range.
I would also note that paper books in this price range are even more common -- they're called "second hand books".
