Amazon.com bought the one copy of Tales of Beedle the Bard that was up for auction.

I think it's actually quite nice that they bought it and are sharing it with people. For all we know, it could have ended up in the hands of a private collector who wouldn't be quite as generous with pictures and descriptions. I'm not sure how much they're going to be allowed to reveal, didn't J.K. Rowling say it couldn't be republished? Does that mean just for profit? Or does it mean as long as they publish it on a free forum, it'll be alright? (the cynical part of me wonders about publicity, and yeah, that is a quite a bit of positive publicity considering. But just a small, cynical part. ;))

Also, I'm still flabbergasted by the amount of people who are saying J.K. Rowling owes them this book, that she had no right to do it. Seriously. What?
