It would be so much fun to be able to do book clubs "virtually" with your friends. And it just makes sense to be able to loan out ebooks like you do with regular books. I LOVE all of these ideas.

Publishers could be taking advantage of the tools build into ebook readers to get feedback from readers, whether if its a typo or letting the author know what you think as you go through their work. Also, lets say you couldnt send the typo data back to the author, maybe it can store your markups so that the next time you read the book you dont see the grammatical errors. Thats a great point Amy.

Also, I don't know if it's just the books I've purchased for my Kindle (but I do have a wide range of fiction, non-fiction, and young adult) but I have noticed that ebooks have SO MANY grammatical errors. This makes me cringe. A lot. So basic grammar review would also drastically improve ebooks. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes please to being able to lend an ebook to friends!!!
