Rowling: E-books about Harry Potter? Out of the question!

Fans of e-books (e-book), whoever you are, excuse me. You can read the new Harry Potter book on paper, listen to it, perhaps even buy a book in Braille. But do not expect to download the text - at least legally.

JK Rowling did not allow the electronic version of the first six books about Harry Potter to be released, and is not going to change his position in relation to the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter and Fatal Power series. This was stated by lawyer Rowling Neil Blair to the Associated Press on February 4, 2007.
During all these years, Rowling cited two reasons to justify her position: fears about the pirated distribution of electronic versions (which was never a big problem for Harry Potter books) and the desire for her books to be read on paper.
Electronic books, advertised as the near future of the publishing industry during the dot-com madness of the late nineties, today make up an insignificant share in the multi-billion dollar industry.
Rowling herself writes her books by hand, on paper, which sometimes leads to amusing delays, such as last April. Here is what Rowling, who lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, wrote in her online diary on her official website:
“Why is it so hard to buy paper in the city center? What should a writer do when he is used to writing by hand, when, to his horror, he realizes that she has written all the paper she has up to the last scrap of paper? This morning I spent forty-five minutes to find a place where I could sell ordinary lined paper. And this is a university town! ”
Rowling announced that the seventh book will be published on July 21. The six previous books sold over a total circulation of over 325 million copies.
