Having had been in the publishing space for an exceeding (excruitiatingly) long time, the truth is that the primary driver of adoption in these types of apps is catalog. The great thing is that most large publishers will now allow access to the back catalog (and some front), but they are also providing that access to everyone. It would seem with this product, your hope is the social aspects will be your driver of adoption. Given Goodreads and now even Kindle (and a few others) have socialized the annotation, how do expand on the concept to drive adoption?
