Since it's Overdrive exclusive I guess there won't be any Harry Potter e-books available in German libraries?
Funny that they specifically mention German as a language when there aren't any German libraries (apparently besides an international school in Bonn where you have to be a student to access the library) working with Overdrive.

They must be expecting high demand. They show "Library Copies: 2". They usually/always start with 1.

If this is true, I guess we won't be seeing the ebooks for sale for another few months.

You can't, I'm sorry. I just went through that about 2 months ago and it had to be done by mail.

My library (Brooklyn Public) has ordered 20 epubs and 5 audiobooks of each. I'm even tempted to put a hold, just so I can be FIRST! (actually second, I think there is one hold right now) even though I have most of these on my bookshelves already and I don't have plans to re-read them. Must. Resist. The Mania.

My library...oh wait, Kindle and Canada don't work for libraries. I'm hopeful that by the time my son is ten (he's two now) that an e-book version of this might be available for purchase so we can read it together.

Ah - It's the Kindle and part that is the problem. The Toronto Public Library ordered 15 copies of each - and I'm 4th or 5th on the list for each. Lots of reading coming in early May...

Are the Canadian libraries getting the US versions too or the UK versions?


EDIT: Nevermind, I found your libraries site. It appears you get the UK versions (lucky you) of the eBooks, but the US versions of the audiobooks. I hope when they're available for sale we can buy the UK versions in the US.

Cheer up, you'll probably buy another reader in the next 8 years, and it could be one that reads epub.

How much difference is there between the UK versions and the US versions? I know that "Philosopher's Stone" was changed to "Sorcerer's Stone", and I assume there are differences like changing "colour" to "color", but are there broader changes that that?

There is a fair amount of change, yes.
