I'm kind of new to code and have just a basic understanding of the blockchain, but my true realm of knowledge is the editorial industry and I think it could evolve if someone takes it to the blockchain. I don't think printed books will ever cease to exist —as long as producing them be physically possible— but they will keep living along digital formats. The editorial industry is chained to the production models of printed books —and that remains a harsh truth that nobody dares to question in the more literary side of the industry. I think the book industry needs to be disrupted (beyond Amazon, may be without Amazon at all) and the blockchain has potential to do so. Being said all of it, I think your idea is not bad at all. Nevertheless, it would be just one of the ways in which the blockchain could increase the appeal of ebooks.
