I didn't say that. I said I appreciated her lack of trust.
Addendum: Let me clarify a bit. I don't really care about whether fiction authors provide ebooks or not. If they believe the quality of ebooks is too low for their work, I'd probably agree. If they just don't want to support the ebook market overtly in its early stages, fine by me. If they want to control their market because they believe that their customers are too stupid to be trusted to make certain decisions, especially when the product is intended for children? That just brings a smile to my face. I only support it as a cynic, and don't really care about the logic or lack thereof behind their decision.
Now, if these were educational materials, I'd probably have more of an objection to the discrimination of format, but this is Harry freaking Potter.
