The only way I can think they'd be able to offer the books they depict is if someone buys them, strips the DRM, and "loans" them out through their subscription program--which is rather drastically illegal.
They could, presumably, re-DRM them with their own DRM, to only allow them to be used for a limited time, and loan them out like library ebooks, only with more flexibility about device compatibility. I think that's fairly unlikely.
Of course, it's possible that they don't actually offer the titles they show, and only have a few promo-freebie popular book titles, and a whole bunch of Gutenberg books. |
I do wonder if this is a legit service. What would really help is if they allowed us to browse their selection to see if we'd want to subscribe.
