ebookmuse.com is taken, but .net and .org are available.
If .com is gone, then the name is useless. We need it to be .com.

.com is commercial :/ This is intended to be free of charge, as well as the source code for the Java client.

.com used to be just for commercial. Now it's become the generic extension. Plenty of sites are .com that have nothing to do with trying to make money.

.com is just more easily understood by the searching public, would be my guess.

That's way too long.

Remember, the whole goal is to make it EASY, not a bother to the end user in length of name or spelling.

That's why I'm voting for E-Finder

The name says it all
I don't like E-Finder at all, sooooo 1998, and I also don't think it's any clearer than Muse. What, it finds "E"s? Besides, the name doesn't necessarily have to describe its function IMO. There are plenty of examples out there of services that have "weird" names but they do just fine brand-awareness wise. I still vote for Muse, it rolls off the tongue quite nicely and is easy to remember, also for non-English speakers.

So, here are some italian domains not taken yet:

willread.it (if you can change third level also, you can put "you" or "i" instead of "www")
youwillfind.it
hereis.it
canyoufind.it

And, off course:

dontpirate.it

yes i agree. "google", to give an obvious example. that should have been called something like "reallybigsearchengine.com" (well, only shorter) by your logic, but it seems to be doing okay...
