Oyster is a pay to read as much as you want service. There are other models out there as well but Oyster has the most aggressive marketing. I joined Scribd for awhile and Amazon now also has an all-you-can-read model with a monthly charge. When I checked the Amazon service against the authors I read, I did not find any of them included. Oyster is probably the most polished when it comes to helping readers find new things to try and may have the best collection of solid reads. Most of them I've seen are ten bucks a month.
