You wish. You can, obviously, decide not to release a book at all, but once you do you might as well release a legal ebook as well. If you don't, do you really think there won't be an electronic version? There will be, but since you're not selling it there's no way to make money that way. Stupid move.

And I'd be hard-pressed to blame them, really, with people claiming that e-books (which are easier to search, more portable, smaller, and far less perishable) should cost less than throwaway paperbacks.
They are cheaper to produce, and less valuable (no resale value, e.g.)
