Will the early success of Harry Potter’s final book come crashing down on booksellers as well as book publisher Scholastic? The publisher has only printed out 14 million books — less than half of the copies that are out there of the first book — but with no more books to spur sales of older titles, some are starting to believe that retailers will hit them up with returns. I look into why that is unlikely in Potter Pooper.

It was a wacky day yesterday. Associated Press and Forbes each reported that Netflix was lowering the price of its most popular plan (unlimited rentals with 3-out at any time) from $16.99 to $15.99. It’s odd since the company had just lowered its price this summer from $17.99. Well, AP corrected itself. It was just being offered to “a small fraction” of its 6.7 million members. I explore how Netflix blew it — angering anyone who isn’t part of that “small fraction” — in today’s Netflix Nearly Dodges a Bullet.

I just concluded an online chat for HispanicBusiness.com today. The magazine hadn’t hosted a live chat in nearly two years and I was up to the challenge. It went well.

The transcript is here.
