Friend of mine said recently "What about Netflix for books? Why doesn't it exist?"

I first pointed out libraries and then made exactly your point about consumption. People burn through TV show episodes or movies more than they do books. And on top of that, I'd say a broader set of the population watch TV/movies than read books, which makes for a smaller market.

I am currently part-way through 6-8 books. I haven't managed to finish one in about 12 months!

I think people not finishing their books it probably one of the stronger use cases of this though. You wouldn't have to buy 8 books only to not finish them, you could just read them on Oyster.

Though admittedly that doesn't cover the library counter point.
