In this video I'll show you how to transfer your Harry Potter eBooks onto your Sony Reader. There are two ways of doing this and which one you use depends on where you are.
At the time of recording, the first method is available in the US and Canada. Please go to the Help section in the Pottermore Shop for information on any newly added territories. The second method is available worldwide.
We start off on the Pottermore shop homepage and navigate to a product page where you can buy your Harry Potter eBook, for yourself or as a gift.
Here you can also download a sample of this eBook to make sure that it works on your computer and device.
Now I'll move to the 'My Books' page. This is where you'll find your eBooks once you've purchased them, and is the first step towards reading them.
Pick the eBook that you want to access by clicking 'Select', then choose the 'Sony' option and follow the steps to send your eBook to your Sony Reader account.
Confirm that you want to link your accounts and you will be guided through the linking process.
If you already have a Sony Reader account you can simply log into it - if not then choose to create an account and you'll be shown what to do.
Once your accounts are linked you'll be asked if you want to send your eBook to your Sony Reader account.
Click 'Send my book' and, once it has been processed, your Harry Potter eBook will be accessible in your Sony Reader account.
I'll now return to the 'My Books' page and show you how to transfer your Harry Potter eBooks onto your Sony Reader if you're not based in the US or Canada.
Pick the eBook that you want to access by clicking 'Select', then choose the 'Sony' download option and follow the download steps until your eBook has been processed and the download commences.
Once your eBook has downloaded you can transfer it onto your device using the Sony Reader application or other EPUB compatible software.
Sony Reader software is free to download from the Sony website - www.sony.com.
To import your eBook into the Sony Reader application, simply click 'File' and then 'Import Files'.
Find your eBook on your computer and then click 'Open'. Once your eBook has been imported into the Sony Reader application you can easily transfer it onto your device.
Connect your Sony Reader to your computer and the Reader icon will appear in the Source bar. The Sony Reader application will then automatically sync the contents of your library with your Sony Reader, and you can then enjoy your Harry Potter eBook in your own time.
If you have any further questions about how to access your purchase on your device then the chances are they're covered in the Help section of the Pottermore Shop, where you'll find a comprehensive collection of Frequently Asked Questions designed to make your experience easier and more pleasurable. I hope you found this video useful and thanks for your interest in the Pottermore Shop, the only place where you can buy the official eBook and digital audio book versions of the Harry Potter novels.
