Maybe some smaller publishing houses could experiment with it-offer a collection of books from new and upcoming authors every month for a fixed subscription.
The issue for me personally is that I'm pretty selective about my reading tastes-much more so than music, games, or other entertainment, where I don't mind dabbling in new stuff on a regular basis.
