Harry Potter makes ebook debut at Pottermore website The publishers have made deals with leading booksellers, including Amazon, to ensure that the books are compatible with most popular ereaders. Those who want to read the books on an Amazon Kindle ereader will still have to buy the books through Pottermore and then link the purchase to their Amazon account. Russ Grandinetti, Amazon's vice president of Kindle content, said: "We're excited that Harry Potter fans worldwide are now able to read JK Rowling's fantastic books on their Kindles and free Kindle reading apps." One bookseller that is absent from the deal is Apple. The books cannot be associated with an Apple iTunes account. However, since they are available as ePub files, iPad, iPod touch and iPhone owners will still be able to import the ebooks to their devices. Charlie Redmayne, chief executive of Pottermore, told The Bookseller: "You have to take into consideration that there will be a lot of pent-up demand, people who have wanted to buy Harry Potter e-books but haven't been able to. There will also be a lot of people who want to buy the whole series. He also said that Pottermore planned to release enhanced editions of the Harry Potter books, possibly by this autumn. With the Harry Potter ebooks now available, it is expected that the Pottermore website as a whole will now open. Announced in June last year, Pottermore was intended to open in October 2011 as an interactive universe dedicated to Harry Potter. But so far access has been limited to a million beta testers, with technical problems delaying the full opening of the site. Earlier this month a statement on the site said that Pottermore would open in "early April."
