I got e-mail today from HarperCollins about their store closure. I did not recall using the store, but I did buy one ebook directly from them. From its
home page:
Quote:
As of November 19, 2010 the HarperCollins eBook Store has been discontinued. We have disabled the ability to create new accounts or purchase content from this site, and we encourage you to download and archive all titles you have previously purchased. To download previously purchased titles, sign in and visit your 'My library' page. After December 19, 2010 titles that have not been downloaded will no longer be accessible.

Since HarperCollins is an agency publisher, they set retail prices and pay ebook stores a flat 30% so there is little advantage to having their own store.
