Oyster launches ebook store
9 April 2015 Books+Publishing @booksandpublishing
In the US, ebook subscription service Oyster has launched an ebook retail store with over one million titles, reports Publishers Weekly. Ebooks can be purchased by subscribers and non-subscribers via the Oyster website and app, and are available from all of the big five publishers, although only Simon & Schuster, Macmillan and HarperCollins include their titles in the subscription service. Oyster CEO Eric Stromberg said the ebook store will be ‘competitively priced’, with ‘some discounting on a publisher-by-publisher basis’. Oyster is currently only available in North America, but Stromberg said that ‘expanding internationally is definitely a focus for us in 2015’.
