Just found this story....

The photographed pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which appeared on the internet this week, might be traced to an American discount company that mailed early copies of the book to its customers.

Copies of the final Potter novel, which is officially published tomorrow at 9.01am, began landing on Tuesday in the letterboxes of about 1200 Americans from DeepDiscount.com's warehouse in Chicago.

The US edition's 759 pages, apparently photographed by a young amateur, were posted on various websites around the same time and, although blurred and hard to read, they gave away the long-awaited ending to J.K. Rowling's seven-volume story.

Publishers in the US, Britain and Australia, which have guarded the books under strict embargo, would not confirm that the text was genuine.

However, the US publisher Scholastic announced it was taking "immediate legal action against DeepDiscount.com and Levy Home Entertainment" after individuals received the Harry Potter book "as a result of a breach of the on-sale agreement by the distributor, Levy Home Entertainment, and shipments made by DeepDiscount.com, a customer of that distributor".

Scholastic said the number of copies shipped was about one one-hundredth of one percent of the total US copies. The publisher also made a plaintive request to fans who received their books early to "keep the packages hidden until midnight on July 21st".
