Customer Reviews
AMAZING
I've always been a massive fan of this series; it taught me to love novels, basically. This enhanced version is so very tastefully done. I am so glad the illustrations are "grown up", and will appeal to both young and old. Rowling's personal additions is just icing on the cake. Cheers!
Could Be Better
The illustrations are very nice and some are animated but there is no sound. There are only a few annotations and they are short. This is disappointing given the amount of extra material that was written for Pottermore. I think these enhanced eBooks should be more enhanced than they are. This is Harry Potter after all.
For all the frills, still missing some basics
I was excited to own this version, but when I downloaded the sample, I reconsidered. Left-flushed pages look terrible (give us the option for justified!), and the forced black-text-on-blinding-white-background is ridiculous. The great thing about ebooks is how flexible the text can be, but here, all we’re allowed to do is change the text size. I suppose I’ll hold off for now and wait for at least the color issue to be resolved; all of my other ebooks are in night mode, and I just can’t read this text as it is.
