This thread seemed like a logical extension of the Free Ebooks thread. If it isn't free, where can it be legally purchased in accessible format? Let's all post about the stores where we purchase our books, and what we need to do to make them accessible.
In order to start things off, I'll contribute that, for those of you wanting to legally own Harry Potter books, the store at: http://shop.pottermore.com offers audio and ebook versions of the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling that are completely accessible. The ebooks are sold as DRM free epub files, that you can read with your iPhone, Balabolka, or anything else that supports epub. The audio books are sold as 44.1 64 KBPS Joint Stereo mp3 files, packaged in a zip file. Note that while neither ebooks or audio books contain DRM, they are both watermarked. The purchase and checkout process is entirely accessible.
As a somewhat off-topic aside, those of you who are Harry Potter fans, might be interested in the following thread about the accessibility of the Pottermore game: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic... If you are interested in the new writing by Rowling herself, check that thread for tips on how to best access it. If you are mainly interested in the gaming elements, you're mostly out of luck.
