With today's announcement the JK Rowling is partnering with Sony for the Harry Potter ebooks & other content is it a stretch to say that this would confirm that the end is not nigh for the Sony readers?
Am I alone in thinking this or is this wishful thinking on my part? I can't help but think it's not over for Sony in the ereader department. From the official press release:
"As the Pottermore Shop develops, it is intended that it should include further products designed specifically for Harry Potter fans, offering a potential outlet for Sony products and services related to Pottermore."
A special Harry Potter themed Sony reader???
Squee! OMG can you imagine the sales on that?!?! It'd have to hit that magic price point though of course and $179 for many parents just wouldn't be it I'm afraid. Will the next Sony's be plastic like the rest of them on the market today? hmm...
