I heard that all the books are printed on super thick paper for the sole reason that jkmrowling wanted it(the books)to be thicker. so, the big print versions have to be HUGE! nice idea for other people, but the big print versions drive me (personally) nuts. thanks 4 the info

It looks as if the only version they're not going to make is the mp3 version, but I don't really mind. I don't like to "listen" to my books anyway

neat-o. . . Muy interesante, as the Spanish language would say. . . Nice that they have books for the visually impaired, but wonder how many pages a book like that would be? Way bigger ^-^

Oh, that's so great! I think everyone should be able to have the fortune to read the Harry Potter Series. I think it's awesome they're doing that! Thanks a bunch

Not necessarily, there will probably be more pages, but at the same time, it is likely that the entire book will be bigger, so more or the large print words can fit on a page. So it'll probably be maybe a bit thicker, and the book itself larger....but don't quote me on that.
It's nice to see how early it's coming out. It'd be cool if, by book 7, it came out at the same time.
