This is one I'm tempted to scan before I try re-reading it again, though...it's one of my favorite books (and even though it is technically first in a series it stands on it's own merits), so I re-read it fairly often.
What bother's me about series in eBook is when they are incomplete or in different formats. Incomplete I will not buy at all. Different formats I can deal with by stripping and converting. But still for the average person, it's a no go. Might as well be incomplete. #1 is Mobipocket/eReader/MS Reader, #2 is Mobipocket/eReader, #3 is eReader/ePub, and #4 is ePub. Now for someone who has a reader that doesn't do DRMed Mobipocket or eReader or MS Reader, that series would be useless overall.
