That wasn't her objection to making an electronic version of the Harry Potter series.
She said that when she thinks of reading a book she imagines a paper product with a specific look, feel and smell. For that reason, she wouldn't allow them to be sold electronically.
Although last week she said that she's reconsidering that stance (there are lots of news articles if you search) and some people have estimated the ebook rights to the Harry Potter series could be worth $100 million.
