Same at our house.

We purchased five complete sets of Harry Potter over the years. One per child as they grew up (four out of five of our kids wanted to own series), plus a set for my wife and I to read.

When we shifted to ebooks and ereaders a set in ebook format was not to be found and Ms Rowling refuses to allow digital distribution.

It was a simple enough matter to find beautifully formatted darknet ebooks. As I have contributed to JK Rowling's vast fortune five times per book, I am happy to use the darknet copies until perhaps, she might change her mind. However, that may well be sometime after the polar ice caps melt.
