I've become a little jaded with this whole Pottermore thing of late. I signed up for early beta access, but I'm likely to have to wait some more time yet to use the site as I registered on the fourth day of magical quill challenges, and now I'm reading that it is possible that I won't be able to read the eBooks in October after all - even though I already own a recently purchased Sony Reader. Bugger.
How else can the books be a Sony exclusive without DRM, if it isn't through bundling? Which leads me to believe this article is correct, although confusingly expressed.
Ultimately, these books will be up on the Pirate Bay before the readers even officially ship. More people will download from sites like TPB because they cannot purchase copies for themselves legally.
