    Oyster

    So there's an app I just discovered called Oster.

    It's the Netflix of books. $10 get access to thousands of books (even available offline).

    I'm on the 30 day trial right now, and so far, I'm loving it!

    The only issue I have is with how clunky and slow to respond swiping to turn the pages is. It's nowhere near as smooth like with the PlayBooks app or Kindle. It's better to just use the volume key.. Which is kind of a pain for me because those keys are on the back of my phone just under the camera at the top.

    So yay!!

    Does anyone have it? Of not, would you want to try it out and then pay for something like that?

    I think it's awesome. I spend tons of money every month downloading e-books and this is a great way to curb that spending.

    I looked into Oyster a while ago and had a fit because it was only available for Apple devices. I'm glad they finally got up to speed with Kindle!

    I just go to the library. All the books I can read, and best thing: they're free!
