My suggestion, which is probably a few years too late, is to sell reading devices with the complete Harry Potter series preloaded. Plus a few other good reads.

I think that's a lovely idea, but I think the process really needs to start before the kids are old enough to read themselves or deal with a reader.
This topic came up before, and I suggested reading to your young child from a reader. The kid would get the idea that reading was fun, and that a reader was something used to do it. When the kid starts asking to do it herself, you start supervised sessions where the kid is at the controls and learns to use it. When you are confident the kid can use one and take care of it without breaking it, you start thinking about getting one for them.
