I had an Oyster subscription for ~18 months. The cost of the books that I read was more than double the cost of the subscription. Therefore I don't mind that I don't get to keep the books, especially since it's rare for me to reread books. I read mostly BPH - both fiction and nonfiction. I like the way the subscription services are organized such that you can easily browse books via sub-genre lists and see "similar to" recommendations. It has really helped me to discover new books and broadened my reading.
Since Oyster is shutting down, I recently switched to Scribd. It has a smaller selection than Oyster but more than enough to keep me reading for a very long time! I am not a romance reader, and I have plenty of other sources for audiobooks. Therefore those recent controversies don't bother me. I am intrigued by the sheet music availability but haven't explored it yet. I am pleased that Scribd has improved their presentation since the last time that I tested it.
Kindle Unlimited doesn't interest me yet. There is not enough selection for my interests to justify the subscription price. I prefer to read on my Kindle but don't mind reading in the Scribd app on my iPad.
