I agree totally. The way they set it up, it's nothing but a free coupon to buy 1 Harry Potter book. Even if they made a 4th front and back for the reader with a HP theme (so they'd have white, red, black and the special HP themed plastic) I think would have been a MUCH better seller.
But that's possibly not even an option the author gave them, it's likely the most she was willing to do was let them use the name for one free book (not that it would be free per her deal with Sony). But if wishes were horses, I'd have much preferred to see a full HP themed reader, matching screenshot for when in sleep mode... I think Sony would have sold a ton of those. I'd even have liked to see all the HP books already loaded on it, that too would be a big selling point.
