Company Summary

The Book Elf is an ebook sharing social network that aims to create a legal way for people to share their copyrighted ebooks. It has the best interface around for downloading public domain eBooks, but it also allows users to share ebooks with their friends via a virtual bookshelf. The Book Elf will gradually make copyrighted ebooks shareable as authors and publishers adopt our new ebook license that permits sharing via the website.
