This is similar to Netflix streaming. You have the full library available to you as long as you continue to pay your $8 a month. You can re-watch stuff and get access as new titles are added. But, once you stop paying you can't watch anything. You own nothing.

Zune Pass (is that still around) and Spotify have a similar service for music. All you can eat for a monthly fee... but you don't own anything. (Well actually Zune pass included 10 songs that you "buy" per month.)

However, at the rate I read, about 1 book a month I doubt the price would be worth it for me.
