Scholastic certainly put in a lot of effort in their design, even if they do think American kids are scared of philosophy. The result is a text that's more vibrant and alive than the Bloomsbury editions, and since these are books for children that's even more important.
I don't doubt that Pottermore will be looking to be able to sell the books to Kindle customers as well - it's just too dominant to ignore. But I don't see why those who read the ebooks should be obliged to make do with an inferior version. The problem doesn't lie in the technology, it lies with an unwillingness (on the part of multiple actors) to make that technology function the way it should.
