I don't trust JKR's intentions. She has been screwing around with this for ages. She knows that there is a demand for the e-books, otherwise there would not have been all the leaks regarding e-books that were bogus and then the excitement when she said they were coming in October. She knows that it is probably one of the most pirated series on the planet and still continues to drag her feet.
I am sorry, but it would have been very easy to sell the e-books at the existing bookstores as soon as she decided to sell the e-books. I don't know why she choose this path all I know is that her continued delays are annoying to many folks, myself included.
All she has done in increase the number of folks who gave up and downloaded the pirated copies and probably increased the number of folks who are not going to be willing to exchange their pirated copies for legitimate copies.
