Why are none of the Harry Potter books in the ebook stores?

Octavian

I've looked in the iBook, nookBook, and Kindle stores but the original Harry Potter Books are not there, only these weird summaries and all that. Is there a reason that they aren't there because i'd rather buy them as ebooks because it's usually a lot cheaper

Answer
There has been rumours of the eBook versions coming soon: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/apr/05/harry-potter-ebooks as well as JK Rowling and Bloomsbury launching a new website which currently has a "hold page" for content coming soon http://www.pottermore.com/

It states here that Rowling has been against her books going digitial due to possible increased piracy: http://www.bradsreader.com/2009/01/jk-rowling-harry-potter-ebooks-and-the-definition-of-irony/

It also states similar here and that they could soon be coming to digital format: http://www.mobileindustryreview.com/2011/04/the-100m-harry-potter-ebook-rights-and-the-forthcoming-kindleipad-revolution.html

SLAVE by mende nazer herself

Mende Nazer lost her childhood at age twelve, when she was sold into slavery. It all began one horrific night in 1993, when Arab raiders swept through her Nuba village, murdering the adults and rounding up thirty-one children, including Mende.

Mende was sold to a wealthy Arab family who lived in Sudan's capital city, Khartoum. So began her dark years of enslavement. Her Arab owners called her "Yebit," or "black slave." She called them "master." She was subjected to appalling physical, sexual, and mental abuse. She slept in a shed and ate the family leftovers like a dog. She had no rights, no freedom, and no life of her own.

Normally, Mende's story never would have come to light. But seven years after she was seized and sold into slavery, she was sent to work for another masterâa diplomat working in the United Kingdom. In London, she managed to make contact with other Sudanese, who took pity on her. In September 2000, she made a dramatic break for freedom. (amazon)
