This is a good point, and a terrible shame. Ebooks would be great for her. I corresponded with her briefly a few years ago, and she saved a lot of paper copies of her books to sell because she knew they would go out of print quickly. An ebook at a reasonable price would be just the thing so that more people can discover her work and she can make a little money even after the pbooks are only for sale second-hand.

BTW, I have no idea what her personal opinions on ebooks and pricing are - the above is just my take on the situation.
