I'm thinking of things like
- make it easy to provide the content in different formats so that all popular devices and supported
- branding under own name e.g. stevejordan.some-ebookstore.com
- reviews, ratings
- working with the author to create graphics for cover design
etc.

Actually, you described the ideal bookstore quite well! About the only things you missed were a great searching function, so visitors can find books and authors by story type, or by similar books they've bought... and advertising help, to draw customers in the first place.

That's not a bad idea... I'll have to work on the best way to package that! And BTW, thanks for all the kind words, everyone... it does make my effort worthwhile. (and Hey, sales help!)
