I hope you are successful in your venture. You seem to be targeting the moderate reader, offering just two to four books per month. I think a big limiting factor will be lack of availability of your titles on EInk based ebook readers. I'm also a little surprised that there's no discount going from the 2 to 4 book level. Indeed, it's $0.01 more expensive to sign up for 4 books than two 2 book subscriptions!

But I don't think it's for me (even if I was in the US). Over the past few years I've been buying an average of 10 to 15 ebooks per month, for average prices of $3 or so. There are very few authors/series where I'm willing to pay $7.50 or more.

Hmm... checking my records, I've only ever spent $7.50 or more on an ebook 63 times over the past ten years or so. That's only 2.8% of my purchases.

Thanks for having me as part of the community, I look forward to chatting and getting to know everyone!
While I know we will never be everything to everyone, I hope that we can offer a compelling product for readers everywhere. We will continue working hard to mold the model to create the best value for readers.
Your feedback is very helpful, I hope you guys will continue to provide feedback such as this. Hopefully we will have the chance to serve some of the mobilereads community!
Take care
Bryan

Even on a tablet I don't want to be tied to one reading app as it might not meet my needs.

Thanks for the input. We are looking into this to ensure we are within our rights given to us by publishers. If this is something we can legally do, we will absolutely make sure this is a possibility.
Thanks

Americans are lucky. They have so many great services available for them. We as the rest of the world have to trick by using proxy VPN or hope one day, the services available for us. I hate copyrights. Sad but I can only support services that available world wide

Anyway, I appreciated Mr Bryan Batten for engaging with users. Hope ereatah can be improved soon and better available world wide.
