Because while the narrative style may be deceptively simple, the plot and world are actually quite complex. Nearly everything is connected somehow; there are tons of things referenced in the first book -- even the first chapter -- that become incredibly important to the series later on. The first two books seem like they're just stand-alone adventures in the life of this boy, but everything keeps building on itself to the point where nothing stands alone and you need all seven volumes to get the full picture -- and even then there are questions. They're simple and whimsical enough that very young children can easily understand the main plotlines and complicated enough that they kept adults entertained and grasping at clues for years while they waited for a new book to come out.
Back on topic: While I wouldn't be surprised to see the ebooks released in connection to this Pottermore project or the end of the films or whatever, I'm pretty sure that's not all the project is given the scope of the registered trademark.
