Sony
Intriguingly, Rowling has signed up Sony as a partner on the Pottermore project. As a maker of e-book readers, there have been rumblings as to whether the new e-book editions might be Sony exclusives.
That's not the case -- the e-books will be readable on any device, including Amazon's Kindle. Instead, Sony's role in the project is one of a primary commercial partner, and it's more likely that the company will put together branded products and services for sale in the future.
In short, Sony's stumped up some of the cash to build the site, and in return will get to offer Potter-specific products in the future which will be put in Pottermore's store, and likely marketed its users. Sounds like a good deal to us.

As stated in another thread, you guys a creating a new line of Sony readers out of thin air and total BS. That is NOT what the agreement between Sony and Rawlings is about...
