I definitely feel that I’m in the Harry Potter fan minority, as I prefer e-books. Oh, and Noble Birth Descending, they’re not saying that the e-books would retail for that much, they’re saying that the e-book rights might go for as much as $161,640,000.00 . They had the “m” on the pounds but not on the USD.

I think that cloethebelatrixlover is onto something. Wouldn’t the Potter books actually be better on scrolls of parchment, if they feel the need to market them in a different format?

HOORAY! Now can someone please suggest the books be released in ePub format and Nook too? Not all of us like that tacky Kindle or the toy iPad. I’m a “real” book lover, but really, lugging pounds of HP on vacation isn’t my idea of fun.

I’d certainly purchase a set just for the ease and convience of always having some superb reading available:)

It’s about freakin’ time. Although I still suspect ebook editions are several years away, sadly. Assuming Rowling even decides to go with them.

I do prefer to read from an actual book, but I have read from two e-readers. I think that its a great idea if it will help more people discover the amazing world of Harry Potter!

Fans who read both physical books and ebooks would definitely want to have both formats, because it is too difficult to carry all 7 books (8+ if you count Beedle the Bard and the 2 textbooks for Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch) everywhere you go, but you can carry one Ebook reader, making it easy to refer to any of these books (or refer to more than one) on the go. Then read the paper versions at home. They ought to throw in the Lexicon by Steve Van Der Ark as well.

YES!!!!!!!!!! I keep checking Amazon, hoping I missed an announcement about the HP series being release for ebooks but its not there =[[[ I hope they decide to relese them, I know buy them =]

I have the entire series, in hard cover, bought on release day. I still read them often, but my hands get so cramped holding onto the four largest books. Nothing will replace my beloved bound paper books, but I really hope Jo decides to release e-book versions. I’d pay just about any price to be able to read these classics even as my hands deteriorate!

Books are much better than e-readers :)

Harry Potter fans are just awesome, I love that so many here prefer printed books as I do, including those who want the ebooks as well. The books have been printed in such nice editions. I do understand the desire to have them in a more travel-convenient format though. Don’t forget to frequent your local bookstore if you want to continue to have both, because publishers are so going to push for a total ebook takeover if they can.

I have multiple copies of all the books plus the audiobooks. Bring on the Kindle versions. I love the books, but portability is golden!

Oh I can’t wait! I hope it happens soon because I’m going on a 16 hour flight to Hong Kong at the end of June. I really want to re-read the series before the last movie comes out, and the flights there and back would be perfect – but I just can’t lug seven books with me on the trip. I love my “real” HP books – but an e-reader version is essential for travel. Great News!

I love books don’t get me wrong, however this would seal the deal for me on a e reader. If this goes through I am so getting an I pad.

About time too. This should have been done much sooner. I travel a lot and it’s so much more convenient to have 50 books all together on my ipod than to cart even two books around, especially books as large as the HP series.
