I agree it's stupid. I'd like people to remember it whilst praising Pottermore for their devotion to freedom, forward-thinkingness, unicorns, rainbows, and kitten farts.

(Ironically, if my books are side-loaded to a Sony PRS-950 where all my books are stored on a memory card, I would be apparently breaking the TOS by virtue of trying to read my books. Similarly, downloading to my cell phone via the Nook app would be breaking the TOS since my cell phone files are stored on a memory card. Fortunately, my Sony PRS-350 is apparently safe. )
Even the options Pottermore itself offers to transfer a copy to, for example, My NOOK account, would seem to violate the letter of the TOS. My online account on the B&N server only provides storage, it has no reader function, other than to be a wholly separate storage medium/conduit for a separate reading device.

It's legalistic mumbo-jumbo and nobody who is sane is going to let it stop them from making a back-up copy. Nobody.
