The freedom allowed by "on demand reading" (as you call what we've described) is entirely at odds with the concept of a subscription-based service, in my opinion. Why the weird lumping?

I have zero interest in subscriptions OR NYT best sellers. The fact that someone doesn't care to curate a personal (not to mention local) digital library doesn't mean they're casual readers looking to be spoon fed whatever's popular this week. I have many dear, and obscure, favorite books that I'll probably never own ecopies of.
