Although Oyster is getting all the press, I'm more interested in the
eReatah e-book subscription service. I joined yesterday on the $14.99 Cub plan, which lets you download two books per month. The selection is better than I expected, with plenty of recent and interesting books. The website is still a work in progress, but the eReatah team was responsive to my questions.
The big drawback (and dealbreaker for many) is that you have to read the books on the eReatah app, either Android or iOS. For me it was worth the inconvenience since I was able to get a book that sells for $20 on Amazon/B&N. Long term, though, I'm not so sure.
Has anyone else tried it? (I searched but didn't find other threads on the topic.)
