I joined the Doubleday Book Club a few weeks ago.

I got five books for $14.69 including shipping. That's $2.94 each. One book is a collection of three novels, and another is a current New York Times fiction top ten.

I have an obligation to buy four books in the next year at the regular member's price. The regular price is usually 40% off the MSRP.

I plan to buy the four books for birthday and wedding presents in the next couple of months.

After that I will be free to quit.

So to answer your question, it's primarily about the money. But I do enjoy reading a hardcopy.
