One of the great things about ebooks is that they don't go out of print.

This is incorrect. Some authors decide to unpublish their ebook after a while. Recent example is "Magnum Opossum" by John Hostler, which will be unpublished end of this year http://www.lybrary.com/magnum-opossum-p-880355.html
In this case you know when it will vanish, but in other cases ebooks are removed from distribution without prior notice. Happens all the time. Pablo Amira just sent me a list of ebooks he does not want to offer for retail anymore. So if you really want to read a title I would not necessarily wait too long.

You are trying to make a point, but I think it's rather weak. I don't know the figures but I would bet that popular physical magic books go OOP more often than ebooks. Actually, many physical books that were OOP have found a new lease of life through digital format. Furthermore, it's dead easy, and costs nothing, to reverse a decision (as it as to be a decision to take an ebook off the market as you cannot possibly physically exhaust the number of copies) and get an ebook back into circulation.

I think you're doing a good job with your site and offerings and I am actually one of your customers, but I don't think you're going to scare many magicians into buying Wesley's book because it might go OOP. If it does, then too bad, though I am still considering getting it at a later date.

I am not trying to scare anybody. All I did was correct a misconception that ebooks never go 'out of print'. They sometimes do. That's all.
