Hi everyone, hoping to get your opinions or comments on this.

What do you think about a program similar to iTunes or Steam where you can buy new books and read them in the program? It would be an e-book manager. Like in steam, the books would be available to you forever, and you could buy from the store. Like in iTunes, you'd be able to lend books to friends.

The files would be in a public format so that readers could put them on any device: kindle, ipad, generic e-reader, etc. altho I think it'd be easier if you just had an app that synced with your account, so you didn't have to upload books to your device all the time

What do you think?
