It's... frustrating because eBooks is obvious solution for when books are not quite popular enough to keep printing indefinitely. When they're unavailable it just pushes people toward acquiring them illegally.
This shows an advantage (for an established author) to self publishing their back catalog. While in theory ebooks should be a 'set it and forget it' thing that need never go OOP, there s still contracts with publishers that expire in time.
