I cannot imagine why publishers would want to participate in subscription-based services like Oyster. I mean - they already poop their pants when a computerized voice reads aloud Kindle books. Do you seriously believe they'd agree on a deal that would make everyone look silly who spends $10 or more on a single book?
Unless you are into filling up your virtual bookshelf with a collection of virtual books that you don't even own (but only rent) - where would be the point in purchasing e-books if e-book subscriptions like Oyster became maintream?
