Kindle Rejection Letter: Scholastic & Harry Potter

Today, I received my first Kindle rejection letter from Scholastic.

In early May, I sent out a few letters to publishers and authors asking them to consider publishing some of their work in the Kindle format.  Like most readers and Kindle owners, I already have copies of my favorite books and so my letters were geared toward getting my *favorites* on my Kindle.

Well, Scholastic sent me a standard form letter with a pithy reply.

"___X___  it isn't available at this time through Kindle."
