"I wanted a way to replace the old-fashioned bookshelf," says Marazzani, who comes to the book world via the video game industry. "I wanted something to let you show off what you're reading, see it and interact with it. To grab a book from any device and not have to go through the hassle of DRM."
The result is Ownshelf, a platform-slash-social network to which users can upload any DRM-free EPUB file and then share across their own devices as well as with friends. Which means that right now, Ownshelf is a repository of works from publishers who, as Marazzani puts it, "understand that DRM limitations are not user and customer friendly."
