Do you really want an answer to that or are you just expressing frustration at Kindle’s success?

Makes no sense to me!

Wake me up when you all agree with what I posted at the time: Kindle will have the Potter books.

Just because everyone says the same thing doesn’t mean it’s true. I ma probably wrong, I admit, but the issue is still undecided.

Also, Overdrive was to be taking care of a lot of this, and they are providing the means by which Kindle books will be loanable from public libraries without needing to go through Adobe. I imagine they will be helping to take care of Kindle books in the same way with Pottermore.

Google made an announcement, but it’s Google-centered as far as info goes. They mentioned ‘other ereaders’…

Without DRM, there is just no problem anyway, since an ePub book is converted to Kindle/Mobi format within 2 minutes . As Alexander says, it’s both zero-effort by default and she’d have no reason not to make it available for Kindle.

Just because they will sell you an Epub you can convert does not mean that they support the Kindle. There’s a big difference between not having DRM and actually supporting the format.

It would be pointless, economic “suicide” to NOT support Kindle owners. Pottermore goes live July 31; perhaps some further news is imminent. Ms Rowling has NEVER shown one shred of inkling on any topic that she’s willing to “leave money on the table”. You can be certain Kindle will be supported.
