They have just raised over three million dollars in venture capital funding to make this a reality. The intention is to offer thousands of eBooks available to read on a monthly basis for a annual subscription fee. Many other companies have claimed to be the Netflix of eBooks, but have never gained any traction in the industry. The best they have offered is niche titles and have never appealed to mass market trade. Oyster wants to offer mainstream fiction and non-fiction eBooks. In an interview with Digital Book World the founders said “We try to be very thoughtful about what makes sense for both publishers and authors, and have crafted our product and model to align with that,” said the company’s CEO Eric Stromberg of himself and the two other co-founders, adding that they’re relatively new to the world of publishing.
