Surprise, surprise, 15 minutes searching showed up more than 80% of the titles I was looking for. This may not sound impressive, but there's quite a few out of print titles on the list.
However, most are only available as part of a download of many
*thousands* of books. I haven't downloaded yet because frankly I'm not sure I trust myself not to abuse this by reading books I might otherwise have bought instead of (as is the intent) just using it to obtain electronic copies of books I already own.
It seems these large collections are fairly commonplace. A damn good reason, I'd have thought, for publishers to get their act together to satisfy their customers as soon as possible.
