Harry Potter on Kindle - DRM yes, but is it watermarked as well?


Via Teleread:

Quote:
the versions Pottermore pushes back into those other e-book stores’ reader platforms are not DRM-free... Update: Charlie Redmayne claims that the DRM is only applied because Pottermore does not have any way to watermark e-books that get uploaded through other e-book stores.


but MobileRead posters point out that the Kindle files include the watermark notice, which gives an (ostensibly) unique identifier.

Is anyone interested in resolving the apparent inconsistency?

It'd just take a couple of people who've downloaded the first Harry Potter book in Kindle format. Post here with the serial number shown in the watermark notice, and then they can be compared. [I suggest replacing a few digits in the middle with X's, just in case].
