And yes, a lot of things can happen *long* before now and october.
Like Rowling, a Kindle user herself and openly fond of the wireless feature, clarifying that every reader means Kindle, too. And that she understands that 15 million-plus Kindle owners out there is not a market to be ignored or slighted.

I can see a lot of Kindle users asking what do I do now? How do I get these eBooks on my Kindle. They'll be lost without Amazon to directly send to them. But I am seriously hoping that there is no Mobipocket format for HP. That would not be so nice and for the HP books, ePub can do it. Mobipocket cannot.
