Why not Mobileread for an independent review site?

All you'd have to do is have a link to a basic review form.
Finish your book, log into MR, jump to the form, put in the Author, title, write a paragraph about likes, dislikes. Give it 1 - 5 stars and submit it.

Granted there would be a bit of behind the scenes work. But a lot of it could be automated.

Results can be filtered by author, genre, most popular, latest, etc.
Making it quick and easy to go find your next book.

With the MR community behind it, it could be a landmark site!

The other thing I see, is I see a niche, for some people to set up an independent editing, proofreading, site to take the work out of publishing an Ebook. Could negotiate for specific services, or offer a package deal for a percentage of the gross for a defined period of time.

Granted like any truly cutting edge company start-up, the first year would probably be pretty lean. Perhaps people from the industry looking to work from home, semi - retire, etc. Just throwing a wild idea out there.

Trick would be to get it setup, then start getting the word out.
