This sounds exciting to me.  I’d like to exchange thoughts with other people reading the same book I am. Added bonus: BookShout can now import e-books purchased from Amazon and from Barnes & Noble.

BookShout!’s social/e-reading platform debuted earlier this year on the iPhone and iPad, and is now available on iOS, Android and the Web, making it one of the few platforms that is ubiquitous. Integrating an e-reader with social networking capabilities, users can create personal reading groups; authors can interact with their readers and create powerful followings; and publishers can innovate with new marketing and sales models. With five of the Big 6 publishers committed and hundreds of thousands of books, BookShout! has positioned itself so that all possible e-books can be purchased and read on its platform.
