I do agree that the reason we have so much overlap is because of who is around and participating still. I guess my thought is that if one was less literary we might be able to catch (and hold) a different crowd which would benefit us all.

Is there is a different crowd?
What attracts people to MobileRead? People come here to find information about their new ereader. They come here to figure out how to use calibre. They come here to download books from the Patricia Clark library. Something else?
In the last case they are clearly interested in public domain books. In the first case their new ereader has opened the door not just to bright shiny new ebooks, but also to the vast repository of free classics. One of the big advantages of ereaders over paper is the availability of quality free reading material.
