I think so. I'll have to dig it up, but I think she said she was on holiday with the kids and wanted a book for her kids and got it via wireless.

If this is true, it'll be interesting to see if everyone here who's claimed that they would have bought the eBooks had they been legally available now does so.

Not to start flaming, but Kindle is not the only eReader with 3G/WiFi.

It's certainly the only one widely available in the UK, where Ms. Rowling lives.

May I amend my statement to say that I will buy the eBooks if they aren't embedded with a shady digital watermark that may or may not represent a personal security risk?

I don't have 'em on eBook period, legally or no, but I'm not going to buy from Pottermore (or Sony) without more indication than currently available that my CC# will be safe with them.

If Rowling starts selling HP themed e-readers, my Nook may be in trouble.

Huh. Here I thought we had UK MRs that sometimes had eReaders shipped to them or traveled outside the country to get them. But Ms. Rowling prolly doesn't travel much.

If she has a Kindle and her PR team is announcing that ePub can be read by every device ever, that makes it even more amusing in my book.

We do. But for "normal" people, as opposed to eBook fans like us, the Kindle is likely to be the only reader one encounters in the UK which has WiFi or 3G. Plus the fact it's sold in so many different places now, such as Tesco supermarkets.

I know, but I think she specifically said Kindle. I don't have the article on hand and I don't want to waste time searching for it.

I just figured out an interesting connection with Pottermore and Sony. Rowling said this was happening in October. What else happens in October?

"Sony will be selling Pottermore branded products alongside the Harry Potter e-books, a spokeswoman for Sony said."

Why Pottermore, I wonder? It's such an odd name. Potterverse would make more sense to me. Am I the only one who thinks the name isn't easy to say ten time fast?

Would be just the boost Sony would need at least here state side. kids and adults gobble up everything and anything HPotter.

Now if Sony could get their heads out of their $#%%# about pricing then this could be something for them. Though it would be a specific target market though. But exposure is exposure.
