I was thinking of providing something slightly more learner centric. Kids would be sent to a URL, which would have content displayed nicely for them. They could annotate it, highlight things or bookmark pages.

The system would world by indexing lots of content from the structured data that exists in many OER catalogues and other places such as Project Gutenberg. It would then focus on delivering content in a highly-readable, attractive manner. There would be also useful CSS for print and mobile devices.

Some other possibilities, to tie it into the classroom/learning process:

A teacher might like to create reading lists for his class. Like a Youtube playlist, but rather than whole books, need to be able to select page ranges.
Another teacher would like to provide questions for her students at each section.
One-shot authentication, to enable children to collaborate without the issues of sign in processes
Leaning management system friendly
