Our dream library: Unlimited e-books for less than $10 a month
September 9, 2013
The new app Oyster is heralded as the "Netflix for books."
Pay a monthly fee, get access to an unlimited number of 100,000 titles available in Oyster’s app. The app is beautifully designed and certainly rivals that of Amazon’s Kindle and Apple’s iBooks version. But whether its business model is as much of a threat, and whether it lives up to the Netflix legacy it’s brought on itself, is another matter. Right now, the Oyster app is limited to an iPhone-oriented version, though iPad and Android versions are in the works. Oyster is currently invite-only, and it offers its services at $9.95 a month ($2 more than a Netflix streaming subscription).
