I used Oyster during the pre-release beta but found the catalog limited. I should give it another chance now.
I'm curious how they're going to compete against the recently launched, Amazon Unlimited.
Btw, here's a link to the podcast@connor mentioned.
I'm actually finding more titles on Oyster that I'm interested in than Kindle Unlimited. The web reader is a huge win because reading books on an iPhone means you have to do a TON of scrolling.
As a heavy reader, I love the idea of this product. Like Ryan though, I left early on because the selection was too small.
I'd love to see a way to search their current collection before rejoining - 500k books sounds like a lot, but I care more about the quality than the quantity (for reference, 200k+ books were published in the US in 2011).
I'm a huge fan of this product and have been wanting a web client for months. I talked about Oyster on the PH Podcast with Ryan a few weeks back - they keep making it better. High five, Oyster folks.
