Yes they exist - eBook only. The author would be in serious copyright trouble if he sold them, so he gives them away electronically.You can download them from Goodreads. Go to the book description page and click on "Download eBook". It gives you some options for the format - including pdf, ePub, and Kindle.
I think ePub is the format you'll need for a Nook.
If you have an iPod or other device with a Goodreads app, you can download straight to the device using the Goodreads app. I downloaded them to my iPod touch, and it works great.
You can also download from the author's website http://www.jamespotterseries.com/
So can I download it to my Nook? Or my iPhone or iPad?Thank you so much for the info!!!
It's free. You can download to all 3 if you want.
Thank you! You are now my new BFF!
So sorry to bother you again but when I clicked on ePub the Nook wasn't an option. Is there another way to load it there or is the Nook not an option? Or am I doing it wrong? I'm not very technologically savvy.....
Are you downloading from a computer, with intention to later move it to a Nook? Or are you accessing the website from your Nook?
Also, are you downloading from Goodreads ro from jamespotterseries.com?
I tried both.Maybe I'll have my husband look at it when he gets home. I'm probably doing something wrong but it seems like they're only giving me various options to download to a PC :(
You can download any of those formats to a pc. And then upload the ePub document to your Nook according to the user's guide.If downloading straight to your Nook, you download the ePub format. Then you have to find it on your Nook, and I can't help with that because I don't have one.
I'm sorry I can't be more help. Here's what happens when I do it: From Goodreads, I click on "download eBook" and it gives me a list of 3 formats - pdf, ePub, and Mobipocket. I click the "download" link in the ePub row and it starts downloading to my computer. No problems. The only step missing is to upload the document to the device.
Oh! So it's two steps? PC first then the device? Sorry to ask so many questions. Did u like the books? Is it worth the trouble?
I don't mind the questions. I'm hoping somebody that has a Nook will chime in and be more helpful. Yes, it will work in 2 steps. There might be a 1-step way, but I don't know what it is.I did like the 1st book, still reading the second one. The trick is to manage your expectations. This is fan-fiction, the writer is trying to put his story into a world he didn't create, using characters he didn't create (he creates a bunch of new characters, though). Given those challenges, it's not half bad at all.
There's definitely better stuff to read. But when I'm craving a Harry Potter fix, and don't feel like re-reading the real thing, James Potter meets the need. Mostly, though, I just read them when I don't have another book handy (like sitting in a waiting room or something). I prefer real books to eReaders, but I always have my iPod with me so it's handy to keep some books loaded onto it. And these books are free downloads, so there's no reason not to give it a shot.
Whether or not it's worth the trouble: This is a good opportunity for you to learn how to load eBooks on your Nook without going through Barnes & Noble. Self-Publishing is becoming quite popular nowadays, so being able to do this is definitely worth the trouble. The next great series could possibly be a self-published eBook.
And the James Potter series is free, so it's a good one to learn on. And you can go through the trouble to download the first one. Then you'll know what you're doing when you download the 2nd one and beyond. It's the perfect way to learn and practice. So even if you decide you don't like this series, I think it's still worth the trouble at this point.
And the best way to buy eBooks of the real Harry Potter series is from Pottermore. So you may have to go through the same process if you want Harry Potter on your Nook.
Thanks for your time and patience. If you like the Harry Potter series have you ever read the Septimus Heap Series? The first one is called Magyk. Very good books. Another series I liked is The Tapestry Series by Henry Neff. I'm reading the last one now. Just a few suggestions if you like that genre. There's a few books by Amanda Hocking that were never published just went to eBooks. Very good series too.
Do authors make money of they self publish? Kind of a best concept!
Again, thanks for your time and patience. If you have any suggestions for me I'd live to hear them!
I LOVED Septimus Heap! I'll be sure to add The Tapestry Series to my list. I've seen it recommended for me by Goodreads but haven't paid much attention to it. And I'll look up Amanda Hocking too. Thanks for the recommendations!The books I'm enjoying lately include Artemis Fowl, The Missing, and everything by Rick Riordan. I'm also reading some "grown up" books: Dresden Files, Dan Brown, and Song of Ice and Fire (assuming the next one ever gets published).
I think some writers do make money by self-publishing. But it can't be much because they have to do their own marketing as well (publishing companies usually take care of that part). I've bought eBooks by ordering them from the writer's website, and the writer sends them by email.
I have a Nook and I had to download into Adobe Digital Editions and then copy to my Nook.

Thank you for all your help. I truly appreciate it
Tarri wrote: "I have a Nook and I had to download into Adobe Digital Editions and then copy to my Nook."Does it ask you to download Adobe Digital Editions when you try to get the book or is that something I should do prior?
If you're still having problems, I have the first in PDF, PM me and I'll sort out a way of sending them.
SiobhanThank you! I appreciate the offer. I will try later after I get my daughter off to school and let you know.
BTW, what does PM mean? Is there another way to communicate on Good Reads?
Yes, you can send private messages, it's one of the options on the top tab by your profile picture.

If they invest heavily and you can't return, the company would be out of pocket.

I know most writers don't make much money at all, no matter how it's published. The difference in having a publishing company handle the marketing is that they have dedicated and trained professionals to do it. One could assume this would result in higher sales (compared to what the writer could do on his/her own). That's the benefit.

Plenty of authors have trad published yet had to do their own marketing because there wasn't enough industry faith in their book. It's a lot of faith to place on a maybe.
I downloaded them! Yay!
Thanks for everyone's help!

I want to read this series but can't seem to find them anywhere! It says they're available on Amazon. They're not. Every other site says they're not available.
Do they really exist? If so, how can I read them? I have a Nook and they're not at B&N either.
:(
