10 Things Ebook Merchants Should Offer
Peter Brantley -- Jane at Dear Author has a wonderful list of 10 things ebook merchants should be providing as a matter of course. Here's just one example, but read the whole list:
"Buy a for a friend. The only site that offers this feature is Fictionwise. Amazon does not even offer this for Kindle which makes no sense. When a reader wants to buy a book for a friend, she wants to buy a specific book. She doesn’t want to send a generic gift certificate and hope her friend uses it for said book."

Much of what Jane suggests here might better be accomplished via a subscription service (perhaps the right comparison here is iTunes vs. Rhapsody). Will readers want to continue purchasing individual titles, or is there more value in libary-style access?

A real software that let me share and quote my books (and all my documents), with a new and great interface for surfing in my books.
