It looks like there is an update to the Register article that Sony won’t get exclusive early release, according to someone from Rowling’s side. I have a Nook, which I bought last spring before we went on vacation. I always take my mp3 player with all the HP books (Stephen Fry version), but I also like have a book to read. This time I was able to take over 30 books with me – it was great because once I took only one book and found I hated the book and had nothing to read. At some point, paper books probably will go away, but not for a while. There are still books that aren’t available as e-books, especially ones that are out of print or aren’t as well-read.

Don’t get me wrong – I still love all my books and don’t plan to get rid of them. Sometimes a book that has pages I can turn or can write in the margins is just what I want. But I am looking forward to having all the HP books on my Nook.

Why would Jo put the books on an E-reader platform that is clearly the ‘BetaMax’ of the readers? Kindle would be a far better choice!

I keep debating about buying an e-reader, but I think this bundle would be way too expensive, with all the books on it. (The case would be nice to have, though.)

I’m torn about e-books too but when I look at my first copy of Philosopher (which is literally loose pages with an elastic band around them so I don’t lose any) I think it might be nice to have a copy that’s never going to fall apart. It will NEVER replace my original copy, or the memories that lay between its pages, but it would also mean preventing further damage to it. I already own seven deteriorating copies of Philosopher and, much as I love the smell of new books, it’d be nice to have one that lasts.

Know what you mean. My copies of GoF, HBP and even DH are really sad, falling apart. Guess they don’t make books like they used to!

Uh.. Pottermore subscription?

That will be fantastic :)

I’ve got a kindle so I’ll definitely be getting the books but I don’t think I’d get the Sony e-reader unless it’s a HP special edition or theme… If it was that would be a tough decision!

Maybe it’s a special edition thing from somewhere?
Since the whole thing about Pottermore is the E-reading stuff i dont think that some one would get the rights of the books which will contradict one of the points of the site.

i would give anything for this rumor to become true LOL

I actually would like this bundle, I have been considering an e-reader for the reasons others have mentioned. I spend a lot of time at ball practices and after school activities just sitting and waiting and like to take a book to read. It would be nice to have many to choose from and not have to have 100 pounds worth of books to lug around.

I can’t wait to see if there is some sort of special edition for the HP books.

I’ll just wait until themed carry cases come out for the other readers, which I’m sure would happen very shortly after the ebooks are released, and save myself the money. I’m a purist at heart when it comes to reading and nothing compares to a paperback/hardcover “real” book imho but, I do enjoy the convenience of taking along the Kindle when I go on trips and having numerous books at my fingertips. I never really used it when I’m home since I have my books with me. I say whatever works for you, is what’s right for you and each to his own.

That would be cool! Now if only the Kobo gets it too….

Love my Nook and can’t wait to be able to get the HP books on it… Nothing will replace my hardcover versions, nor my (Jim Dale) audio-books, but having the whole series at my fingertips on a device that weighs less than a pound that I can take wherever I go, well, they will join my other favorite books on my Nook.. I also can’t wait to see what Pottermore has to offer…..
