MahShelf Ltd, founded February 2008 in Espoo Finland is wanting to become the “youtube of books” – a place where you can read and share books online.

The three students, managed by Odin Chen, began working on the concept in the end of 2007. They are pushing out a public beta in April, according to their blog.

MahShelf is in a very interesting area with their service, but they do have heavy competition from Scribd and similar services.
