The latest book in a series may not be on sale, but I'd say that the amount of ebooks that cost more than their paper counterparts is very small.
Can you give me three examples of a current (less than three months old) book that is part of a series and sells in e-version for more than it sells in paper format?
(I tend to avoid series, so hey, maybe I'm off base. But I haven't seen that.)

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 suppose so. But I will say that my experience has been that on the whole, ebooks have been a LOT cheaper than when I was buying paper books.
There are things that I miss about paper books. But being able to carry more books on a thumb drive than I could have reasonably fit in my house is a real benefit.
