I don't think they're planning on any kind of exclusivity. The books will be available at the Pottermore site. I think they're also planning on themed Sony readers, which Sony has done before--so you buy a Sony 650, and it comes with a Harry Potter skin and the Harry Potter books already loaded on it. Same price as the other 650s; it gets the HP books instead of their free classics collection, and it won't be sold through stores.

That deal will probably be exclusive to Sony, but it's not like anyone has to buy the device to get the ebooks.
