This makes perfect sense and shows she is not greedy. If she were, she would take advantage of those who never grew up/missed something in their childhood or whatever it is that makes people read childrens books.
My guess is, she will come round when Kindle/readers come down to 50$ or are more or less for free or hired out by the libraries.

This would only make sense if it were an either-or proposition: the HP books in paper or digital, not both.
I think it's more likely that she IS greedy, that she thought waiting would create scarcity and after a few years the people who bought paper would happily rebuy digital and she'd make buckets of money again. She (or her people) probably didn't think readers would create their own digital versions and make them readily available.
