Where did they get their version of Sorcerer's Stone?
I bought my copy of Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone from Pottermore in ePub format for my Nook. The Engaget link in the OP has an entirely different image of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone than what I bought from Pottermore.

In fact, the Pottermore editions of all the books are the best formatted eBooks I've ever seen. Each chapter starts with the same wonderful Mary Grandpre image we found in the physical books and the Grandpre drawings come across especially well on the eInk screen. There is also a drop cap at the beginning of each chapter just like the physical books. The two elements together make the ebooks something special.

I looked at the Sony site to be sure they hadn't just photoshopped a generic first page but the image Sony used showing the red T2 is exactly like the one pictured in Engaget.

Does anyone know what's happening?
