Long-Awaited Harry Potter Ebooks Appear On Pottermore"},"content":{"rendered":"

Harry Potter \u2014 the series Americans, Brits, and the world alike have been enamored with for the past 14 years — is finally <\/em>available in ebook form on J.K Rowling\u2019s own Pottermore website. At times, it seemed as if the Harry Potter books were as much in the past as the wizards and witches in the books. The final segment of the Harry Potter mega-franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows<\/em>, was released almost five years ago and only now can you purchase them in digital form. As ridiculous as that is, Potterheads can now buy the first three books for $7.99 each and the last four for $9.99 each. While you do need to create a Pottermore account, you can buy ebooks for the Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, Google Play<\/a>, and even ePub formats, downloadable up to eight times in whichever format.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s great about this is the openness of the system in that if you have an iPad and a Kindle you can download it on both without needing to pay for two proprietary versions (though for the iPad, you\u2019d need to use the ePub version as it\u2019s not in the iTunes store).<\/p>\n

What\u2019s not so amazing is that these e-books are basically just text with many of the original illustrations, which lack any cool additional features. While additional enhanced versions will come out with videos and audio features, these may not be out until Pottermore.com eventually comes out of beta in April. Regardless, Harry Potter in ebooks form is exciting and I for one can\u2019t wait to download it on my new iPad<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
