But for the Harry Potter books, that model could be forced on everybody, and they had to go along. It was being reported a year ago that over 450 million pbook copies had been sold. That is a market Amazon et al couldn't afford to have no part of.
Publishers can't 'do a Pottermore' unless they have something equally massive to sell. If they try and to it for normal books, they will just lose sales.
