You are missing out! Although, I do know plenty of people who just don’t like reading whatsoever. I never really liked books while I was in elementary school because they were usually picked for me. Today I find that I can easily get into non-fiction books and I enjoy those the most.

I think it is very plausible and would be a great service. It might help to begin with specialized books aimed at a specific profession and then work your way to the general population.
