I'm rather disappointed it wasn't something more, but I bet this will be a wonderful site for kids, and inspire them to keep reading, not just watch the movies, etc.

I heard this somehow allows you to write your own story and have the chance to get your ideas officially into the Harry Potter world. That's pretty awesome. What a nod to the mighty HP fanfic world.

Wait, so this means Kevy could conceivably write scenes for Emma Hermione? This is not going to end well.

If the HP fic world is anything like other fic worlds Kevy's won't be the worst thing out there. And by worst I don't mean writing ability.

Even I steer clear of fanfic.

Grrrrr. So it looks like the Potter books will be on the Google books platform. Which works with all ereaders BUT the Kindle. And of course I have a Kindle. Grrrrr.

Amazon is disagreeing with that story going around:

Well I hope amazon is right. I don't feel like schlepping 600 page books around anymore.

FINALLY you can purchase the books as ebooks on all platforms. And you can get the whole set for a 10% discount. I had finally broken down and downloaded pdf's off the internet but you can't change the font and I'm blind as a bat.

I'm not a fan of how these are being sold only on the Pottermore site. If you want to sell me something make it easier not more cumbersome.

Plus since I have no real interest in getting them electronically at the moment anyway I'll be happy to give this one a pass for now.
