My only point was that if you have a browser already then most public domain books are already available to you.

If you are offering other features such as individual bookmarking, reading lists, etc on an individual basis then yeah, it might be useful.

Still a plain vanilla ebook reader (particularly on the used market) is no more expensive than most cell phones. With a Kindle (new or used) you get built in 3G etc.

I guess I just question both the need for this and the market for it. Have you had a significant interest? How long have you been up and running? How many users do you have?
