JKR = JK Rowling. Author of the Harry Potter books. The J stands for Joanne but she goes by Jo.

Thanks for clearing that up. Although I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, I'm glad for those who are excited by the coming of Pottermore and the ebook versions. .

John Noe commented that nobody has a Sony reader , Sony readers have flash and some other stuff.
Good grief.

There's nothing quite so annoying and yet entertaining as a big fish from a small pond entering an established industry with an empty head and a big ego.

Yep! I was listening in my car as I was waiting to cross the US border. People must have thought I was nuts laughing, shaking my head & cursing all alone in my car. LOL

I think one of the sadder points is that Melissa's own book Harry, A History is in ebook format so I had expected she'd at least have a tiny clue about them or the readers. Apparently not.
