But they are *at Pottermore's request* adding it to the Potter books.
You reported that yourself.
The rest of the mechanisms are the same as for personal docs.
To me, the key is that, unlike Kindle books, but just like personal docs, there appears to be no limit to the number of simultaneous Kindle Devices/apps in your account the Potter books can be simutaneously synched to. (There is at least one report of 12 downloads in the HP ebooks thread.)
You have always been able to authorize other people to send you personal doc/ebooks; the difference here is Pottermore gets authorized when you give them your Kindle account info and a DRM yes/no flag gets toggled.
The Kindle Cloud has been shown to have lots of tweakable settings on both file-by-file, device/app, and user account basis. There's probably all sorts of minimal effort variants they can accomodate as the industry explores new business models.
