    To offer a downloadable product you need a web page with a link to the product on it.

    Whether you create that page by writing manually HTML or by using a blogging tool... it's irrelevant.

    Yes, you can use a blogging platform to create such a site. However, if the only function of that site would be to offer downloads... maybe, a blogging software is an overkill. Or, perhaps, the wrong choice. For pure downloads I'd look for a download manager type of script.

    There are a couple of ways you can offer downloadables. If you are offering them for free, you can simply upload them to your server and then place a link to the download in a post. If you click on the Media link in WordPress, you can upload images and PDF files.

    If you are selling stuff for download, then I recommend using E-Junkie.com. You would upload your products there and they will give you a link to integrate into your website. When people make a purchase, e-junkie will send them the link to where they can download the book etc. This will prevent people from saving the link to your downloads and sharing it with all of their friends.

    When you say "ebooks and software sharing platform(site)', I assume you want a site which is dedicated to sharing ebooks. You can share it through text links, but a better solution would be to add some fancy buttons and make use of "Custom Posts" in WordPress for creating special listing page for such ebooks.
