Harry, you are absolutely right. Her copyright is to be respected and protected by all means. And, as you say, we also have the right to disagree with her, and to discuss the possible reasons she or her publishers may have to ignore the e-book. Until recently, the majority of the music industry ignored and condemned digital audio formats; today, it is one of their major revenue carriers (iTunes).
