Harry Potter Audio Books Via iTunes
Apple has announced an exclusive deal with author J. K. Rowling to sell all the Harry Potter books in audio format via its iTunes music store. The Harry Potter audio books are available for download now. The books can be bought individually or as a set. As a further promotion Apple is also releasing a 20GB iPod which is engraved with the Hogwarts crest available for $299.
J. K. Rowling had this to say about the new deal with Apple:
Many Harry Potter fans have been keen for digital access for a while, but the deciding factor for me in authorising this new version is that it will help combat the growing incidents of piracy in this area. There have been a number of incidents where fans have stumbled upon unauthorised files believing them to be genuine and, quite apart from the fact that they are illegal, the Harry Potter content of these can bear very little resemblance to anything I’ve ever written!
This is pretty cool. I’ve found that since I got an mp3 player I listen to audio books in my car much more often than I used to. The only downside is that the Harry Potter audio books do seem quite expensive.
