Ebooks I've downloaded just disappear into virtuality and collect pixel dust. Many people need better, steadier reminders of what they're reading or have read. Imagine something similar to the false-back bookshelves covering the walls of your average manse.

This is essentially the opposite of what some "shelfie" sites seem to do, since one would need their catalogue of binding photos or something similar.
