Non-Fiction Books for Kids
Why?
You have fiction for young adults, as well as “educational” non-fiction, but not many books that deal with current topics or serious adult topics like, finance, marketing, philosophy, etc.
How?
Publish books on subjects that matter today – the same topics adults find interesting and read about – written for kids.

If You Liked This Book You Might Like That Book
Why?
As a starting point for discovering new books at the store.
How?
Create a list of books that customers can browse at your retail store to find a book they already read. For each such book list suggestions for a new book they might want to read in the following format: if you liked this book because of X you might enjoy these books…” List potential books for each identifiable quality of the book they already read.

Subscription to All of an Author’s Books
Why?
- For authors it’s a dependable income source, and also creates a community of real fans that can be further monetized.
- For fans, it’s a low-cost solution to having their favorite author’s entire oeuvre, a more direct connection to the author and also to belong to a community of like-minded people.
How?
A subscription service for authors that for a very low price ($1/month) gives the readers access to all the books the author has already written. Other facets are can include:
1. Sneak peeks at new books.
2. An online (and offline) community of like-minded people sharing their thoughts.
3. A communication channel for and to the author.
The point is not so much to make a profit out of this monthly fee, as much as to build a community of raving fans that can be monetized by other means like selling special editions, swag, etc.

Central Repository of Highlights and Notes From Books
Why?
Wouldn’t it be interesting if we could look at other people’s notes and what they highlighted while reading a certain book?
How?
Allow people to add their own notes to listed books (and add new books if they are not yet listed), and keep them in a central repository online. Everything should be indexed and searchable.
