    It feels like a threat

    I went into this article thinking it was just about the book being available online (something I’ve known about since early this morning when every nerdy technology person I know sent out a frantic email). Then I came across this:

    “But the copy I have includes all the pages; I could, if I wanted to, tell you the very last line of the very last Harry Potter book right now.”

    You know what? That’s a shitty thing to say. It makes me not like Manjoo at all. It strikes me as crazy that this guy didn’t realize that downloading the most anticipated book in recent memory and then threatening to tell us would make him the least popular guy on Salon.
