News:
1. Pottermore! - J. K. Rowling, author of the "Harry Potter" series of books and one of the wealthiest women in the UK, has announced that she will be releasing e-book versions of the Harry Potter series starting this Autumn. A website entitled "Pottermore" will be launched in October, "a free website that builds an exciting online experience around the reading of the Harry Potter books." Entry to the site will be free and there will be no subscription charges. Rowling describes it as her chance to give back to her fans. E-books will be a paid-for option on the website.
However, the e-books will ONLY be available via Pottermore, meaning they won't be available for purchase in the Kindle Store. The e-books will be DRM-free meaning they may be put onto any supported device as many times as you want. Whether the Kindle willl be a supported device remains unclear. Understandably, retailers are fuming.

Synopsis: "July 1805: The armies of France have only to sail to England to complete Napoleon’s domination over Europe. Britain is militarily weak, politically divided, unsettled by her rioting poor. Into this feverish environment comes a dead man. Pulled half-drowned from a shipwreck, his past erased, Tom Roscarrock is put to work for the Comptrollerate-General for Scrutiny and Survey, a shadowy Government bureau. He is thrown into a bewildering world of political intrigue and violence. In France, a plan is underway to shatter the last of England’s stability. In England, the man who recruited Roscarrock has disappeared, his agents keep turning up dead, and reports of a secret French fleet are panicking the authorities.
His life in danger and his motives increasingly suspect, Roscarrock must pursue the complex conspiracy across England and then into the heart of Napoleon’s France, there to confront the greatest mystery of all. The Emperor’s Gold is the first in a series of historical espionage thrillers taken from the newly-uncovered archives of the Comptrollerate-General for Scrutiny and Survey."
