Like 500 people deep for the new bestsellers!</p> <p>Edit: I edited above- I normally read 3 books a MONTH, not a week LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tried-oyster-books#post-1755221 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 10:46:50 +0000 Ginabean3 1755221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh,thanks for reviewing this, I've been thinking about subscribing since I too am an avid reader! :-) right now I use our library but sometimes the wait for the new books can be sooo long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tried-oyster-books#post-1755211 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 10:29:24 +0000 sorrycharlie 1755211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will probably do the trial but won't subscribe. If I had extra money then maybe! Before kids I would buy books at target all the time. But I use the library now (budget cuts :silly: ) - our library recently expanded their overdrive (kindle e-book lending). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tried-oyster-books#post-1755209 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 10:26:56 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1755209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried it but I will now!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tried-oyster-books#post-1755204 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 10:23:30 +0000 dc yoga bee 1755204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the new self-proclaimed "Netflix of books." They're giving a free month trial, and so far I really like it. The app is beautiful, and out of 500,000 books, they have many that I actually have been wanting to read. I was worried they'd mostly be duds, but there are a lot of NY Times Bestsellers. I just finished Incendiary, by Chris Cleave (same guy that wrote Little Bee). The only thing I didn't like, is it swipes up and down like a legal pad, instead of left to right like normal books. Hopefully, they update that nonsense. I like that i can read it on all my devices seamlessly too. I think y'all can tell I love this! At $9.95 a month it's a deal for me since I *normally* read at least 3 books a month. I want to see what other bestsellers they add before I sign up once my month runs out. I'm pretty sure you do not keep the books either, if you cancel just like netflix. Has anyone else tried it? Would you pay a monthly fee for an unlimited reading service?</p> <p><a href="https://www.oysterbooks.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.oysterbooks.com/</a> </p>
