Had a brief look at a selection of sites from the Web 2.0 Awards nominees:
Biblio.com offers used, rare, out of print and text books. It provides an option for customers to make suggestions. There's also a 'booklovers' suggest' section covering childrens; fiction; non fiction. Can browse books by subject, including recommended books but little info was offered (no preview of book or blurb). And you can browse selections from rare book room. So quite interesting and useful for older titles.
Lulu has a facility to publish books and calendars.
Mango languages is designed to give you conversational ability in a chosen language (12 options). Has a translator.
My Heritage - can create a photo family tree.
There is so much out there. No doubt over time the more durable, popular, easy to use, flexible etc ones will come to the fore. Those who have a particular interest will find the tool that suits them best. Somewaht impossible to be aufait with everything.

A jelly bean to the person who can figure why Jack is on this page!
