The rest of the series I've been able to buy in ebook format. Why they missed these two, I don't have a clue.

Strawberry Shortcake Murder is on the darknet.
I didn't check others.

I don't have enough experience with the darknet to answer definitively, but my kneejerk answer would be "no". From what I have seen that goes on, mostly it's the new stuff that is available already in ebook format that gets passed around. If it's old stuff that's still in copyright but out of print, and the publisher hasn't released it in ebook format, it's impossible to get hold of, even on the darknet. It's also certain formats that have the biggest problem.

the most obvious examples that contradict this statement is Harry Potter and
the whole Tolkien.
A few more examples:
The Crown of Star series by Kate Elliott and First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.
The list can go on and on.
