Why not Ratuken (which owns Kobo)? Basing it on epub would make it more extensible as well.

Whether or not books matter isn't in question (or shouldn't be). A book is a perfect example of human-centered design; really doesn't "need" tech at all to be effective. (And personally I find that highlighting to be the most annoying feature of e-books.)

The question was rhetorical; of course they matter a lot. But books as they exist today are a technology. An amazing technology. And I doubt we've yet perfected them... we invented indexes, e-books, paperbacks over the years. Further improvement seems possible.

Yes, Kindle changed the way we read books and then… stopped there. I want social highlights, notes, flash cards, and fractal reading (each chapter summarized in 1 paragraph, expandable on several levels if you want to dig deeper).

Relatedly, if this existed, I would start to actually highlight, annotate, and write in the margins of books. (In much the same way that I never faved tweets until faves notified the tweet authors, at which point I started doing it all the time.)

Revshare with the annotators!
