Harry Potter Books Head To The Kindle And Nook After Pottermore suffers Cruciatus … – TechCrunch

Whether you side with Hufflepuff or Slytherin, it sucked that you ‘could only get Harry Potter ebooks from a special service called Pottermore … until now. The company has is now selling These books for $ 9 on the Kindle and Nook and for a very interesting reason: the goblins at Gringotts Realized Pottermore did not have much money left.

Harry Potter ebooks have long been Part of the Kindle Unlimited but this move opens ebooks sales to new sites.

Pottermore launched in 2012 as a digital home for all things Potter. Interestingly, its biggest ground floor you Sony, then quite active in the reader space. As The Digital Reader points out, the company licensed the branded, offered a Harry Potter-themed area in Playstation Home and gave away free Harry Potter ebooks with the Sony Reader.

Old Draco Malfoy must have gotten a Confundus Charm brewing over there because after a while the Sony Realized That it was hopeless it stem the tide of bigger ereaders and content plays. Sales dropped 352% in March 2015 from £ 24.8 million to £ 7 million. The site suffered a loss of £ 6 million in 2015.

So give Dobby his old socks and strap on your House Cup because it’s time to download Those books again for the next generation. And, it should be noted, I suspect Amazon is Voldemort in this story but I doubt Pottermore is going to survive as the Site Who Lived after this attack from his delicate wand.
