Hmm. Maybe I've been too spoiled by the extensive Overdrive selection of my local library, but to me $9.99 a month is way too expensive.
It's rare that Overdrive doesn't have what I want, it certainly happens less often than once a month, so it makes a lot more sense for me to just buy what I can't get from Overdrive. I'll still likely come out ahead compared to an Oyster subscription, and even if I were to go a couple of dollars over each year, I now own the books as opposed to just borrowing them.
If it was $9.99 a year, I'd join. I wouldn't pay a whole lot more than that though.
