I found this article on the Huffington Post website today and I thought it was interesting considering all the discussions we have had about children's books being on e-readers. This article states that kids want to read e-books, while 80 percent adults would rather still read a physical book.

I also think it is interesting that J.K. Rowling does not want to have the Harry Potter books be available as e-books. The article says "she prefers her work to be read on paper."

That’s very interesting about J.K. Rowling, since e-readers like the iPad might help share the Harry Potter series with another generation of readers.

I think we'll eventually find that there are more than a few authors like Rowling who have a strong preference toward the paper. Though I doubt many will voice it the way Rowling has, for the desire to sell as many of their books as possible.
