Completely unable? Amazon runs Kindle Unlimited which is spotify but with text. And then there's Audible Plus which comes with some selection of books.
And companies like O'Reilly have been running services like Safari since before Apple named their browser Safari.
But piracy apologists continue to claim that the publishers aren't tech savvy enough or business savvy enough. The services are there. I can only presume that readers prefer to buy their books one at a time, often printed on paper. That's the only reason the services haven't become household names like Spotify or Netflix.
- thekyle 6y agoI wonder if it's because reading books is more niche compared to listening to music or watching TV. So a higher percentage of book readers are enthusiasts who prefer to own rather than stream.
