New York - Author J.K. Rowling will continue her refusal to allow any of her "Harry Potter" books to date to be published as e-books when the forthcoming seventh and final installment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," is released on July 21, the Associated Press reported.

Neil Blair, a lawyer with Rowling's literary agency, confirmed to AP that the seventh book will not be available to purchase in digital form.

Rowling has said before that concerns over piracy, and a desire to see readers experience books in print form have informed her decision on e-books.
