According to the BBC<\/a> the 7th and last Harry Potter<\/a> book sold 11 Million copies in 24 hours. Gosh! I have to admit that I’ve never read any of them. Not for any particular reason, I just never got round to it. Way to much other stuff to read over the last 10 years. Maybe I’ll have to read them all now the series is complete. Might actually be better to read them now as I won’t have to wait for the author to complete the series. That used to scroll my nerd big time when I was a lad \ud83d\ude42 I can remember nearly going spare waiting for Julian May<\/a> to complete the Pliocene Exile<\/em> and Galactic Milieu<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

What happens if she gets hit by a bus!? \ud83d\ude09<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thankfully she didn’t (and not just so she could complete the books).<\/p>\n

It seems that Bloomsbury and J.K. Rowling<\/a> have not authorised electronic copies of the Potter books for eInk devices like the Sony Reader<\/a>. This is a mistake in my opinion. Although given the sales of the series I’m not sure mistake is the term to use! In any event if I do decide to read the books then I’ll have to get cheap paperback copies so I’ve actually bought the books and maybe look for electronic copies for the Reader from alternative sources…<\/p>\n

The question is. Are they worth reading?<\/p>\n
