Google's Getting Harry Potter, But The Kindle Will Too
This morning Google made an announcement of magical significance: the Harry Potter eBooks, which are being released for the first time this October, will be available via its Google Books platform. That sounds like it should be a given, but in the case of Potter it isn't "author J.K. Rowling is selling the books exclusively through Pottermore, a site that she launched with much fanfare last month.Some reports took this to mean that Potter wouldn't be making his way to the Kindle (or that end-users would have to deal with clunky workarounds to get the book off of Google Books and onto Amazon's popular device). Fortunately, that isn't the case: we've received word from an Amazon spokesperson that the company is "working closely with Pottermore to make sure Kindle customers will be able to buy and read J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/nX0yULjHplo/
