I think I'd LIKE that to be the reason vs.s the other options. Has any one asked her?

Actually she's gone on record as saying that is one of the reasons. Consistantly she's worried about piracy (which is silly, since no legal ebooks are available, and it was WIDELY pirated), and getting kids to read books. Kids now a days are constantly plugged in, and she wants them to get off the grid for a bit.
