The Scotsman reports that, after years of not allowing it, J.K. Rowling is “now actively considering plans for e-book versions” of the entire seven-volume Harry Potter series.
Liz Thomson, editor of book industry website BookBrunch, said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if the rights for the e-books are sold for £100 million.
“Experts believe that move could revolutionise the world of electronic publishing, triggering rocket sales of e-book readers such as Kindle and the iPad.”
Rowling’s agent Neil Blair now says, “The e-book format is now something that is being actively considered.”
