Rare Pottermore E-reader!
The T1 Pottermore units are being recycled through Best Buy Canada!
I bought a new unit and there is official Sony Canada tape across the top flap. If you look closely, the original clear plastic security sticker had been cut so they could open the box, and then they put Sony tape over top of that to re-seal it.
I thought maybe Sony had opened up these boxes and decided to update some firmware before release...but that's not the case. The unit inside looks new but a big clue is on the front of the box:
There is a black sticker in the top right corner - says Borrow Free Public Library eBooks over wi-fi etc...
You can just barely see that a circle sticker exists underneath this one.
I thought it might be a security sticker placed under the black sticker, but when I peeled it back carefully, it reveals that it was indeed a Pottermore unit and that the Harry Potter e-book can be found inside!
They left the thank you note on imitation gold-leaf paper hand-signed by JK Rowling in the box - so I guess I have a free souvenir! No sign of the Harry Potter ebook installed however.
I wonder if my T1 gives me magical powers?
