In the world I imagine, you simply store your key on an SD. E-book storefronts and reader software all ask for your key, which you provide simply by inserting your SD.
Nothing prevents the key exchange from being completely automated, as it already has been in several different systems. Your browser automatically performs key exchange and decryption whenever you visit a secure web site. It's invisible to the user.
As you point out, a lot of the infrastructure is already there via public key servers, web storefront software, and email programs.
