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.

Well ladies, either my language skills are worse than I thought or you missed something else.
Of course there is no reason to go either - or. All I said was that she wanted no ebooks because HP is meant for children and children normally do not own expensive ereaders.
So this means her intentions are on the children and she does not care if you are able to buy an ebook or not. She didn't write HP for an audience with an income that has enough money to burn it on gadgets.
I do fail to see why this is greedy or stupid or whatever else you said.
