Harry Potter e-book Sales Postponed

The seven Harry Potter e-books – said to be compatible with all major e-book readers like Kindle (Amazon), Reader (Sony) and i-Pad (Apple) – have been expected to be available only through the online portal Pottermore from this month. According to ‘Pottermore’, the e-books are now likely to be launched anytime between January and June 2012.

The website Pottermore has been offering an online Harry Potter community, a digital encyclopedia of Potter-related trivia, and role-playing games for millions of Potter fans. The site was launched in July 2011 and has over a million members. While membership of the portal has been restricted so far to the members chosen through a competition held online – a move most possibly calculated to whip up frenzied curiosity – the registration is going to be thrown open to everyone by the end of this month.

The Harry Potter books – in the physical format – are said to have sold over 450 million copies and their availability in the e-book format is expected to raise this figure to even more impressive, unprecedented levels.

“I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares more is none”. And all, may be. It may be the vigor. Or the spirit. Or the courage to avoid being “politically correct” or bent. And, ban all averse with immaculate overture of graciously fathomable words firm in views. Subtle. Justifying the undying conscience. Values. Knowledge. And, dares to stay true. True to own. True to the world. And, to the words. With a dream in eyes it exists. In you. In me. In all. The sprite that never shies away. The spirit that never dies!
