Sorry to reply to my own email, but maybe what we need is
an open source bookreader software project (er, make that
book-display-for-reading software) that uses Open eBook as
its native format. And a librarian/bookfinder like napster...
Fire up GnuBook. Type in the title of the book you want.
Click "download". Read.
