I was thinking about real physical places where to exchange the ebooks. It is not only the book transfer but also the appropriation and use of public space in such a great and civilized way that fascinates me. Imagine, having the street like it was a bit of a division of your home... a bookshelf in the street! Amazing! Can you think of anything nicer to add to a street?
Besides, these bookshelves gather people, in some way or another. I also like that.
Of course DRM would be an issue, at least until they allow a certain number of transfers for a single file.
