I don't have a problem with that Harry.

I do have a problem with the fact that JKR said she wanted everyone to have the same e-book experience. To me that means all the e-books would use the same fonts and have the same illustrations. It should not matter that they were not in the UK version and they were in the US. The e-books should all have the illustrations or not.

I also have a problem with the fact that the e-books are geo-restricted. She controls the global rights so why do I have to use a work around to get the UK version? That makes no sense. I have been wanting to read the UK version but thought that having the UK and US version in paper was over kill. Why can't someone in the US choose the UK version and vice versa?

In the end, it means that people are not having the same experience with the e-books. Since she used that as one of her excuses for delaying the e-books, it annoys me.

That said, I am fine without the illustrations. They were not vital to the story and I can live without them.
