Now now kacir, not much technology in the Discworld either, at least before Hex. (I know, sorry for bringing Pratchett in a discussion about Harry Potter). The content of a book has nothing to do with the way it is distributed, presented, or read. And any writer may use whatever tool he chooses, if it helps his/hers inspiration, no problems there. She could have carved Harry Potter in stone for all I care. But there is some kind of apprehension or even hate towards ebooks by some writers (and readers) which I really don't understand. It will probably change in the future, whether they want it or not, but until then, we readers have a limited choice of ebook content because of that.
