Despite the opinion of David Rothman, I don't think JK Rowling is a fool not to put Harry Potter in e-book format. In fact, I applaud her for it.
Even tho it's not yet finished, I too am writing a novel and the very idea of it in some form other than paper is disgusting. I know someone on this forum will tell me that e-books are great, but quite frankly I am opposed to them.
Even tho I'm a nerd an like my computer, not everything should become digitalized or pumped full of new-fangled technology... and books are one of those.
There are few things I like better than picking up and reading a good book. I can get one at the library. I can lend to/borrow from freinds. It isn't the same staring at a computer screen.
...and I also like the smell of old books ;)
