| | |  New lightweight Sony e-reader to come with free Pottermore Sorcerer's Stone ebook
Sony revealed its Reader™ Wi-Fi e-book reader, which they state is the world's lightest touch screen 6" eReader device, out tentatively in October 2011, and will come with a free copy of the official e-book of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Store from Pottermore. More on the e-book reader, marked at $149 at Sony Stores and retailers nationwide, below. 
 Sony today announced the launch of the lightest touch screen 6" eReader device ever, Reader Wi-Fi (PRS-T1), providing the most natural and immersive reading experience yet for book lovers. The new Reader Wi-Fi builds on the popularity of last year's line, while reducing size and weight and incorporating new and enhanced features. At under 6 ounces and with a 6" E-Ink® Pearl V220 touch screen, Reader Wi-Fi is smaller than an average paperback book, can easily fit into a bag or pocket and is available in three color choices: black, red or white.
"We believe in giving readers more freedom and flexibility while reading, and the new Reader Wi-Fi gives avid readers more access to content than ever. Bibliophiles can now buy, borrow or download free books wherever there's a Wi-Fi connection," said Phil Lubell, vice president of Networked Technology and Services Division at Sony Electronics.
Sony's first offer in collaboration with J.K. Rowling's eagerly anticipated Pottermore website (www.pottermore.com) is a specially-created Reader Wi-Fi with a Pottermore promotion (PRS-T1HBC) which includes a voucher that enables Harry Potter fans to download free the first Harry Potter eBook title, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, from Pottermore, when it becomes available. Pottermore, partnered with Sony, is a unique website which builds an exciting and immersive online experience around the Harry Potter books and is the exclusive retailer of the Harry Potter digital eBooks.

Will the HP e-books be available on all e-reders or just on the Sony one?

I'm not very much into e-books...I just love having my actual, beautiful, hardcover Harry Potter books at home :p but I guess it's practical, especially when you're travelling  | |

I would love to get the HP books as e books, but I'd rather get them on my iPad than on a reader.

WOW - I've actually been thinking about buying an e-book reader, but never knew which one. Now I know for sure. I'm pro-print book, but it would be great to be able to have stuff on a small device...

I don't actually have an e-reader but perhaps I should get one, though I do love my paper books...
