If you don't see it by the end of the day on Monday, I would suggest that people who want it immediately go to their local bookstore, and folks who can wait a day or two <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHarry-Potter-Deathly-Hallows-Rowling%2Fdp%2F0739360388%2F&tag=haightlifecom&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">order it from Amazon</a>. Once you've got it, use "Audiobook Builder":/blog/585 to import it manually.

I wrote iTunes customer service yesterday around noon, but the auto-reply says they'll respond in 48 hours. If past HP releases on iTunes were day of, what the heck is happening for this one? It's well past any time difference concerns all over the world. I'm very annoyed -- I understand they might be too afraid of the server load to pinpoint an exact time, but at the very least they should've made some kind of announcement that it would be a specific day or week so that people could go buy the CD's if they couldn't wait. This is ridiculous! Has anyone written and asked, and heard anything directly from Apple/iTunes?

Just do a search for any of the HP books and in the right hand top corner select "My Alerts" I do believe that it will be released the same day at the same time for US iTunes users. 1) Jim Dale finished the recording of the DH more than 2 month ago, which gives enough time to digitalize the book with the expected quality. 2) Usually when a release is schedule for midnight is to make sure that all (at least all US) time zones are covered making it a nationwide release.

But, on what do you base your news? I did a search, and didn't find anything related to the release of _Deathly Hallows_ on the iTunes Store. @Crispybear: I wouldn’t be surprised if Deathly Hallows wasn’t released on the iTunes Store at midnight Eastern Time; as you wrote, they may have to wait a day, or at least a few hours, to ensure that it’s not released “ahead” of time due to time zone differences.

It seems that iTunes cannot release the HPATHD at midnight on the 21st. If they release it at 12am in NY it would be 9pm friday in LA and just past dinner in Guam. To assure the 21st release and even time it will not be available. Bad News. It seems that iTunes cannot release the HPATHD at midnight on the 21st.
