eBooks

You know something I don't really understand about eBook publishing? The fact that they release some of the books in an older series but not all. And I'm not talking about the last couple of books not being released yet. I'm talking about random books in the middle not being released.

I've seen this four times so far. Diane Duane's Young Wizards series has books 1-2, 4-5, and 7-9 out. Where are 3 and 6? And then Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising series has books 1-2 and 4-5 but not book 3. David Eddings' Belgariad/Mallorean series seems to be there, but we're missing books 2 and 3 of his Elenium and somehow are given books 1 and 2 of its sequel series. And Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series - well, that isn't there at all, but ONE book in its sequel series is there (I think book 3 of 4), plus the sequel book to that. What's up with this?

I wish I could say it's just Amazon, because I could probably buy ebooks from anywhere else. But it's not. It has to be whoever is releasing ebook versions of these novels, because no matter which store I go to, those are the available books.

What the hell ever possessed them to do it this way?
