Normally I find dearauthor to be a helpful and informative website. I have recently done 30 day trials of both Scribd and Oyster. There are several errors in the chart from my experience. It seems like they quickly prepared an article without much checking. It's worth reading the comments to the article.
I find the two services to be nearly identical. Oyster has a more polished and professional look. Both are lacking format options compared to Kindle apps. The format features in the table are not accurate.
I think the listing of publishers is misleading since some publishers are only listed at one service when they are available at the others too. The dearauthor site favors romance books and for that Scribd has a better selection. The only two authors that I like that I could find on Scribd but not Oyster were in the romance genre and published by Sourcebooks. On the other hand Oyster has Houghton Mifflin Harcourt books and so does Kindle Unlimited. They were the primary reason I selected Oyster over Scribd, and they are not even listed in the table.
