Why not call the e-book "The Methods of Rationality"?
Or maybe something that is clearly not HPMoR, but clearly connected to it.
This creates a risk of confusion if people hear about the the awesome HP fan fiction "Methods of Rationality", Google it, and come away disappointed when the first hit they run into isn't fan fiction at all. (Or vice versa.)
What happens if at the top of the book it says "If you're looking for the awesome HP fan fiction "Methods of Rationality", go HERE"? (Ditto on HPMoR chapters?) Sounds like you might get some free cross-advertising that way, as well as a common brand across products.
Assuming, of course, that you want the common branding.
Another alternative: HPMOR could be renamed. The early chapters might have been explicit in the methods of rationality, cognitive biases, etc., but it has since then developed into a full-fledged story, and only tangentially related to rationality by way of certain characters. (Or maybe that's just me?)
Rebranding HPMOR would probably be too costly to be worth the book title.
Would "Rationality Methods" as part of the title overcome that disadvantage?
I like "Methods of Rationality", it's short and to the point, and thus it makes sense for people who are unfamiliar with HPMoR.
