Harry Potter fans will be thrilled to know that J.K. Rowling apparently has had a change of heart about publishing electronic versions of her beloved fantasy novels.

Rowling's spokeswomen says the author is actively considering the eBook format.

Industry experts estimate she could earn up to 100 million pounds from eBook sales, on top of the 620 million pounds she's thought to have made from the series already.  I suppose that's enough temptation to get Rowling over her fears of electronic piracy. 

It's possible that the availability of the series could have an impact on eBook reader sales too.
