eBook Share

I've started a collection of eBooks recently. I've been gathering them from various sources, avoiding all the lame "self help" and "hypnotize yourself" trite, sticking to real stuff I like to read.
I got the idea that board members could swap books around, sharing with each other. Seems like a good idea to me, kind of like a totally electronic book club.
Anyone else interested in this idea in any way? Anyone interested me sending them books from my collection? I'm always willing to share.
I know a lot of times on this board, we'll compare writing to a famous author, or recommend to someone that they check out Book X or Author X, so to be able to just shoot the book to them over the net seems the next step in the natural evolution of what we do here.

Just an idea. If interested, reply and tell your friends.

MODS: If this is in the wrong forum, or somehow inappropriate (I'm not sure about how copyrights work in this instance, all the books I downloaded have been free for me), please move or delete.

citygirl is an unknown quantity at this point
I am not sure either how all that copywrite thing works. I think that if you do not sell, copy or use the info for profit then it is okay. I have a couple of those ebooks as well. They were free to download.
