Well, I have been googling and I haven't been able to find an article by Ursula Le Guin stating that she will not allow her books to be digitised. I'm not saying she hasn't said it - I'm just interested to read what she actually wrote on this subject. I know that several of her more recent books are available on Kobo, so presumably this is about her earlier books.

Thanks if anyone can let me know where to find this.
