I read 0 to 2 books per month, averaging about 1, and neither exclude no require books by popular authors from major publishers. I am completely baffled that low volume would imply some requirement for popular authors from major publishers. Also, over the course of a year, there are large numbers of books by popular authors from major publishers temporarily on sale for $0.00 - $8.99

Even without considering the unacceptable device/app requirements and extremely limited selection, none of the current subscription services even slightly tempt me because of the high price. Since it is unlikely that they can make a lower price work for them, books subscription services will probably never have me as a customer.
