The problem is, that the longer an e-version is delayed by JKR and her representatives, the more people, who would have otherwise purchased a legitimate copy, would acquire an "illegitimate" version of the works.
And by the time the HP books are released "officially" in e-book format, there will be little incentive for those who already have "unofficial" copies on their e-readers, to rush and buy them.

The scary thing is that for the last several HP books there have been electronic copies available before the physical copies hit the stores. There were organized scanning teams in the earlier time zones who had it completely scanned and available before the midnight release in the later time zones.
Rowling is doing herself no favors by not allowing an official electronic release.
