So, today I learned about Mayberry, a distributed ebook sharing system using the OPDS catalogue/library functions.
I think it's kind of early days for the software behind it, but the creator is billing it as a hybrid of bittorrent (ie. it's distributed) and Anna's Archive.
I've already tried it and it works well with my Xteink X4, and the Readest app on iOS.

@WiteWulf Looks great, without having tested it thoroghly. Now, this is coming from someone who cherished the idea of the internet before the commercialisation that came with web 2.0 -- but won't this kind of design inevitably turn into a copyright nightmare? i mean, i know professional writers, people who live by their pen, and they certainly would question the wisdom of having their books freely shared in anonymous networks, preemting actual sales. this is an open question.
