　　A single letter written by Albert Einstein was sold for more than ＄400,000．But could an e-mail printout or an electronic file reach similar heights?That's the question facing those who deal in the literary artifacts(人工制品)of public figures, as they struggle to work out how to do business in the electronic world where information can be copied and spread out more easily than ever before．

　　“Booksellers, collectors and libraries are already trading in digital objects,”Joan Winterkorn, a researcher told people．When Emory University Library bought author Salman Rushdie's archives(档案)in 2006, it received a desktop computer, three laptops, a hard drive and a smart phone along with his paper files．And the writer John Updike, who died last month, started using computers in the 1980s, Winterkorn pointed out, so his“papers”will include a big store of electronic documents．

　　So far, however, digital archives have been traded as just a small part of a larger, mainly paper-based archive．Indeed, no one is quite sure how much the digital documents of a historical figure are worth．

　　“I don't feel the same way about the printout of an e-mail as I do a letter,”said Gabriel Heaton, a literary manuscript specialist, adding that more tangible(有形的)digital objects were easier for auctioneers(拍卖商)to price and sell．“What about a laptop?For example, the one used by J．K．Rowling to write Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in an Edinburgh café has real value,”he said．“Because she used it．”Even if the hard drive had been cloned by a library, the artifact would still be valuable．

　　Gordon Bell, from Microsoft Research, suggested that prices will actually fall to almost nothing．“Once it's been copied and spread out, the value is gone．It's just a piece of memory．”

阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Harry Porter has turned a whole new generation of children on to reading but editors at the Frankfurt Book Fair said the boy Wizard was proving a hard act to follow for authors．According to a poll(问卷)among children between the ages of 9 and 15.68 percent said that Harry Potter had made them feel like reading．

　　It is a happy event, it has developed the children's book market and not only helped books of that particular kind, but other genres(体裁)too．A competitor in the French market, Actes Sud Junior, said it had also felt the effect of the J．K．Rowling phenomenon among French children, though its current success was a German series translated as“Les Enquetes dea Main Noire”that gave junior readers mind riddles not magic．

　　In the United States, the same thing happened．If you go into a bookshop, you are told“read this while you wait for the next Harry Potter”or“if you have liked the last Harry Potter, you will like this too”．It has changed the market and become a way of selling books．And of course everybody is waiting to see what the next big thing will be．

　　“But Harry Potter has helped all of us．In England it is exactly the boys in the age group that were reading less that are now reading him．”Said Victoria Wilkins from Robert Frederick publishers．

　　And Gallimard's Pasquet says people are wrong to confine(把……限制在)the Potter books to the magic genre．“This is not the main thing in the books, they are first and foremost about relations between people．That is what makes them universal”

　　Other editors admit Harry Potter is still by far the biggest thing on the market and if they cannot match its great success－more than 300 million copies were sold even before the sixth book hit the shelves in July－they cannot complain either．
