I'm not at all sure, personally, that book subscription service are a viable business model. I really don't think there are a sufficient number of people who read enough books to make them economically viable, except possibly in some specialist genres such as romance.

Look at what is happening with music and movies. Subscriptions services are the future as with Netflix, Spotify, and such.
I agree DRM will be solidly baked into any ebook subscription service.
I'd like to see something along the lines of:
$4.99 for 5 books a month.
$9.99 for 10 books a month.
$14.99 for unlimited books each month.
