Pottermore's Ebook & Audiobook Sales Double

JK Rowling’s Pottermore company, which until recently maintained a stranglehold over digital versions of the acclaimed books, has enjoyed an upsurge in revenue in recent months.

Sales rose by more than 100 per cent in the final three months of 2015 compared with the previous quarter. With the firm continuing to expand its reach in the ebooks market, allowing the Potter series to be sold by the likes of Blackwell’s and Barnes & Noble, it is confident that it is on track for a record year in 2016.
