Quite interesting. I'd say you should take this proposal seriously and try promoting it on github etc. I'm sure a lot of people will find it useful.

Re: Unbundling: AOL, Facebook and LinkedIn

Couldn't agree more. Products like Linkedin, Facebook etc tend to become complex to cater to wider audience or seduce paid media. Atomisation is ineveitable but I am particularly appalled at the way Linkedin is shaping up (law of diminishing returns). I am unable to recall any useful feature they implemented for a long long time. Can't wait for some startups slicing up into small problems and doing a better job

Great point this "
I strongly believe digital books benefit from public endpoints. The current generation of readers (human, not electronic) have formed expectations about sharing text, and if you obstruct their ability to share — to touch — digital text, then your content is as good as non-existent. Or, in the least, it’s less likely to be engaged. " So have we reached a consensus that people would want to engage with the content while reading and enjoy being distracted by the same?

Distribution or Community are definitely a barrier is something I happened to learn early(while working on kwippy). Perhaps you could share more about how could one nail the distribution or have it inherently as a part of the product

Thanks Bipin.

As far as your question about pricing is concerned, I'd say our prices are at par/slightly better as compared to Retail Book Stores(which we feel are our competitors for now) though some online stores could offer books at cheaper prices.We are trying to offer better/alternate services to offset the price question.

You can always tweet/email/sms/call us to compare prices before placing your next order :)

Wow, that's actually an interesting idea and you've made it even better by adding the last bit ala foursquare/group deals. Leveraging FOF for these things is really cool.

I'd absolutely love to be involved in the project if something decides to work on it.

Only issue, why Inception at Regal Union Square and not PVR? :P
