Why Can't I Get Okot p'Bitek for My Kindle?

The most influential African writer of the 20th Century?  (Some say.)  I searched for him on my Kindle, and I found nothing.  Then, I went directly to Amazon, and most of his books are out-of-print.  I am questioning the logic of this. I want to read African Religions in European Scholarship, but it is very expensive used.  I want to read the first of his poems before he came to the States.


He studied, wrote, and taught at prestigious Universities around the world.  His books are out-of-print?  I am questioning this.  Frustrating for my studies.  Sad for the world.
