Oyster and Amazon are trying to be the “Netflix for books” – in the way that they have some of the good stuff, but nothing that you’re really interested in…
*btw, did you hear Gilmore Girls is coming out on Netflix in October?? I’ve been waiting my ENTIRE life for this. ok, not quite… but maybe the past 8 years? at least? anyway….
Since my commute is so long, I have a lot of time to use my kindle and read, read, read. or sleep. usually sleeping wins…
Gilt City was offering 2 free months of Oyster, and it really sounded like something I would use. And it was free. Nothing to lose, at least. Well, I liked it for the first 2 weeks-ish, but was disappointed that most of my reading list (current NY times best-sellers/ summer reads) were not available.They did have Beautiful Ruins…
And then! Amazon announced an ebook program! yayyyy… but it was kind of the same. Amazon has a little better selection, but still not that great.
Before purchasing any of these plans, just check the ebook selection so you know you’ll use what you’re paying for…
So far the best resource has been the digital library through my county library system – they only have 3 copies available for check out at a time… so i’m on hold for some of the books for a while, but at least they’re the books on my reading list.
Of course, you could always check out real books from the library….
Hope this helps! Enjoy reading!
