As much as I love my Nooks, I've started getting interested in the newest line of Sonys too. If there were Potter-themed Sony readers available (especially if they came pre-loaded with the books), I'd very strongly consider diversifying.
The way I see it, if you have a reader and don't rally need a new one, wait and see what happens. I would wait and see what Sony does. If Sony does it right, they could really have a big hit on their hands.

We'll have to see. I like to reformat my books so I can turn them into PDF's. Don't like the epub reader on my Sony nor on my BeBook Mini. And my JE100 can't even read epub so I use mobi on that.
If you have an x50 Sony, then the ADE is fine. But maybe if Sony comes out with an HP themed Reader with all the HP books loaded, you can maybe get that if you don't have an x50 Sony.

Oh, how I would love an HP themed Sony reader with the HP loaded on it! With an 8-inch screen! And an HP cover! Oh my!

Given that this is Sony, I think you might possibly get a 7" Reader HP themed at best. But I'd think an HP themed reader would be 6".

Has anyone seen anything about these not all being released at the same time? I saw an article or blog post yesterday that said only book one would be out in October and that book two would be out in early 2012, but now I can't find it.

You are probably right, I know. But a girl can dream, can't she? (I really like the size of the old irex dr800 8 inch reader, and I've always hoped that Sony would release something in that size).

Quote:
Pottermore will be first opened in beta on July 31 (Harry’s birthday) to a million fans, who will be required to find a Magical Quill in an online treasure hunt. They will be able to feed back their comments and criticisms of the site in order to shape the final look and feel of the website before it opens to everyone on Oct. 1. This will also be when the Pottermore shop will open, allowing people to purchase the e-books and digital audiobooks in a selection of languages. The second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, will go live in early 2012. Other books will follow later.
I take this to mean that the enhanced website version won't be live until 2012.

Yes, that would be nice and if it was say $300 with all the HP eBook loaded, it would sell.

I saw the same article, and I hope it turns out not to be true. It seems really silly considering that all of the books have been out for years. I would imagine that most customers who are interested in them, would want them all, and would prefer to buy the entire set in a bundle. Forcing people to shell out for them one by one over several months would only serve to annoy customers, and drive them back to the darknet where they can get exactly what they want. This is nonsense. Indeed, it is almost insulting.

That refers to site content, not the ebooks. This year, the Pottermore site would contain extra content from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, 2012 Chamber of Secrets and so on. The ebooks would all be available at the same time in October.

I hope so, though that is not what the article says. Take a look at the article cited by a previous poster.

My understanding is the same as ilovejedd. The book content of Pottermore (online reading of the books with extra content from JKR) will be rolled out more slowly, but the ebooks should all be available in October. Hopefully.

I hope they do release them at once and they sell very well and everyone starts posting about what the rest of Harry's life would be like again and it inspires J.K. and...
*takes a deep breath*

then again, maybe this Pottermore project will get her writing once more.

Anybody seen any indications of what sort of thingy it will be? Legends of Zork-isk, Uru-esque, Discworld text-verse, or SecondLife-like?
