I do fail to see why this is greedy or stupid or whatever else you said.

It's not very bright because she's turned away sales for ebooks for no reason at all.
It doesn't matter what audience she wrote it for, what matter is who her audience *is*. And there are plenty of adults in that audience, who do have eReaders.
In my family, my kids and husband had no interest in the story, so all the books I picked up in the series were for me alone. Snubbing adults who'd be interested in the books just because 1) they're adults and not children and 2) because I might have had enough money for an ereader, is not very smart.
If she's waited because she's greedy, she may find people have moved on who otherwise would have splurged on a digital copy. If she's not wanting digital copies because she's afraid they'll be pirated, she's got too many "yes men" friends and publishers who aren't telling her that it's waaaaayyyy too late to worry about that. If she doesn't care about the fact that quite a few of her fans are adults, and have electronic devices and would love to buy a copy but she could care less, then she's just beyond being silly.
None of it makes any sense to me.
