Sadly, if I compare the number of times I've gone looking for a specific ebook vs. the number of times I've actually found it (legally), I've *not* found what I'm looking for more often then I've found what I wanted.
This is probably due to my taste in books - less mainstream, lots of not-very-old-but-not-brand-new fantasy and scifi. If it's something I *really* want I've taken to dropping a line to the publisher about it. If I don't find it, I don't buy the paper version either - just check it out of my local library when I want to read. It doesn't bother me a whole lot; I'm holding out hope that it'll all be made digital someday. XD
Though, I don't know about anyone else, but the one thing that *really* gets my goat is when certain books in a series are available, but there's no rhyme or reason as to why they were digitized and the others weren't (say, books 2, 3, and 5 of a five book series or something.) If it were, say, only the start of the series or only the end, I'd get it, but why so random?
