I haven't purchased from Pottermore, so I can't comment on the functionality of the site. But regardless of what issues may be at hand, I do think J.K. Rowling deserves kudos for publishing the books free of drm and in multiple formats, and Amazon deserves kudos for cooperating with her and adding to the value of prime and Kindle by getting these out there for lending. Stuff like this will encourage more people to take up e-reading and lessen piracy to some degree.
As for only reading e-books that are $6 and under, that's certainly a valid choice. Just don't expect to get many best sellers for that price in the current market, and don't act like authors are doing you an injustice by selling for higher than that. I'd love to see e-books come down in price, obviously (and I expect that they will become increasingly less expensive as the e-book market matures), but there are valid reasons for higher pricing.
