Subscription Services: “Macmillan Doubles Ebook Offerings on Scribd and Oyster”
From Digital Book World:
In an expansion of the partnerships with the leading subscription ebook platforms it kicked off in January this year, Macmillan doubles its offerings on both Scribd and Oyster, adding roughly 1,000 titles apiece to the two platforms.
Both of those contributions cover popular back-list fiction and nonfiction ebooks, which Scribd says includes best-selling titles by Grace Paley, Hilary Mantel, John McPhee and others.
Macmillan has yet to make new releases available to subscribers of either service.

Both Oyster Unlimited and Scribd offer more than one million titles for a monthly subscription fee ($9.99 month Oyster; $8.99 month Scribd).
Scribd’s service also includes comics and audiobooks. There are no limits on how much material can be read or heard each month. Unlike library ebooks and audiobooks, all materials are available to all subscribers at all times.
