I woke up this morning to an email from the Sony Reader store for the Potter books. I couldn't supress my squeal of delight. I had to have a surgical procedure today & what a lovely way to deal with being stuck in bed, reading my Potter books. *squee*
I rushed to buy them without reading here first and made a mistake. Every multiple book set I've bought has had all the books in one. I wanted the separate files so I didn't buy the set & save the 10%. I figured that like most, it'd be one file with all books. It's not a huge amount of money but had I known they'd still be separate downloads I'd have gone that route. Oh well. At least I can tell my friends the way that it is. *Happy Happy Joy Joy* |

Thanks for the reply, ilovejedd. I don't suppose you know of any example screenshots which demonstrate that 'stylized' appearance?

If you buy it through B&N does the book get DRM'd when linked to your Nook?

Barely anything, really. Just centered, in italics and smallcaps. Don't have my reader with me so just did a quick check using EPUBReader in Firefox. Will take a screenshot later on my PRS-350.

Wow - 17 pages of posts already - I think the "nah, nobody will be interested in them now, they're past their sell-buy date ..." theory is shot.....

I guarantee you that most people who go to the effort of reverse-engineering DRM schemes, do so because they're opposed to the crippling forms of DRM that keep legitimate customers (including themselves) from backing up/format shifting their own purchases. And since watermarking doesn't limit a user's ability to do any of those things (in fact it barely limits them in any way), most of those who might be capable of doing so, won't be lifting a finger to create easy, automated ways of removing all watermarks from ebooks. Not. A. Finger. |

So, out of curiousity, how are things like signatures handled in the American version; are they "plain" stylized text, or images?

You don't buy through B&N, you buy through Pottermore. You can link the books to your B&N account after you've purchased them. I'd assume they'll be DRM'd if downloaded through B&N since they are through Amazon at Pottermore's request (so I'd assume they requested the same thing of B&N).

I'd like to parrot what someone else has mentioned, do we have a list of the fonts used in Harry Potter (US)? I actually like the typesetting on the paper books and would like to edit my copies to mimic the dt version (and yes, I'm aware that's also against the ToS).
