When I researched which one to join last summer, I was able to find lists of publishers for each service to compare. It was Houghton Mifflin Harcourt that made the difference to me to pick Oyster (they have lots of nonfiction that appeals to me). It seemed that Scribd had some exclusive romance publishers for readers of that genre. In May Oyster had 500,000 books and Scribd had 400,000 books. Oyster seems to have added many more publishers recently. This article in Publishers Weekly today says:

Quote:
Oyster now claims to offer over 1 million titles; Scribd claims more than 500,000, and both say the number of frontlist titles on their lists is growing.
