Adding to this, from going through their website, it's not as simple as "old" books are free and "new" books are a premium. I did a cursory look through their catalog and it looks like any book that is still selling well and under copyright has a price on top of the subscription fee. The DaVinci Code came out 12 years ago and is still $10 on top of a subscription, Storm Front (15 years old) is still $10 as well, A Game of Thrones (19 years old now) is $10 on top of a subscription fee, etc. Ten, twenty years is a relatively short period of time for a book to have existed, granted, but it's still a lot longer than the one year wait you'd get from Netflix.
- smackfu 12y agoThat's bizarre, since those prices are basically the same as buying them retail.
- higherpurpose 12y agoYes, I don't like that. They should at least be say 20 percent cheaper.

- guelo 12y agoNo, it's pretty much like Netflix. Hollywood only lets Netflix have the stuff nobody is interested in. They do not have anything from a year ago.
