Yeah, that must be why there aren't any Potter ebooks on the internet. (Down, sarcasm, down! Bad boy!)

If she recants, who will issue them? Scholastic? Bloomsbury? Someone else entirely?
Why not the publisher that also sells physical books? Or one of their subsidiaries? If you want to read "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (or the GBP/USD exchange rate is in your favor) you buy at Bloomsbury. If it's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" you're after (complete with Americanized spelling and removing a few British oddities, I presume) do business with Scholastic.

What I'm asking for, really, is not to treat ebooks any differently from physical ones. Apparently that's too much to ask for.
