The big news was the release of all the Harry Potters in digital form.
Granted, you'll be buying from Pottermore, with other suppliers like Amazon or BN only acting as gateways. Apple's not on board just yet, so take that, tech addicts. No Potter for you. And if you're trying to get online down under, Apple has asked that you return your sparkling new tablet because it won't work in Australia's 4G system.
At any rate, fans of the boy wizard were snatching up their copies when others noted that particular books were suddenly not available for purchase on Amazon.
Kindle users, and that would include those with the Kindle app on their smart phone, were being met with big green buttons that did not say "BUY" but "This Title Is Not Available In The United States."
Why did this bizarre error occur?
Amazon isn't talking. They blame a website issue, which is corporate speak for a variety of problems that could include someone screwing up, a hacker incident, or goblins in the system.
Things are working now.
Copies of A Terrible Beauty and The Leaven Of The Pharisees are only a click away. Happy reading.
