Harry Potter ebooks

The Pottermore standalone digital book store, which Christina mentioned in her blog, is taking an innovative approach in the battle between publishers, ebook providers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and libraries. Rowling is allowing the Potter books to be available on every platform, and providing unlimited check-outs. There is also the ability to download 8 copies of each book. Matthew Ingram gives a good run-down of what's happening at Pottermore in a GigaOm article. http://gigaom.com/2012/03/27/what-book-publishers-should-learn-from-harry-potter/
