Went back and forth a few times, trying to decide whether to buy all of them now or one per month or something else, and then just gave in and bought the entire set.

I chose "I think I'll wait", but not because of prices:
1. I already own them in Hard Cover. 2. I do not plan to reread them any time soon. |

It's definitely not my bag, but I'm glad everybody finally has a chance to buy what they've wanted (legally) for so long. I'm also thrilled that something/someone this big chose to use watermarking instead of one of the more restrictive, crippling forms of DRM.

Can we add an option "I amtrying to buy them but Pottermore seems to suck eggs and is timing out"
Also something about baby dragons or cute owls |

Maybe when the price comes down. I'm in no rush.

I've already read them all. I have no plan to rebuy them and re-read them.

I have read them, once. No plans on ever re-reading, so I won't be buying the ebooks...

Well, I pulled out my credit card, prepared to buy them OMG, right this second, and then realized I have to buy the US editions. *sigh* I'm still totally going to buy them, I'm just a bit disappointed they're region-locked. May have to hit up the local second-hand bookstore and see if I can round out my paper set of the UK editions through them instead.

I already have all or nearly all of them in paper, and I won't re-read them until my daughter will read them with me. She refuses! What is wrong with her?

A poll is not "News". Moved to "General Discussions".

I doubt if the price is ever going down for these.
I already have the paper version (mixed UK/US because I didn't pay attention when ordering book 2-4, and also in Japanese). I don't like the US "translation" but the US books are much nicer with illustrations and all, too bad that still holds true for the ebooks. I might go for the French version when it becomes available, though. These books helped me improve my English a lot, maybe they can do the same for my French. |
