Netflix for Books

I know Kindle Unlimited exists, but it often doesn’t have the books I want. I also know the library exists, but it has long wait times. So why doesn’t a Netflix, Hulu, and HBO for books exist?

As in, each publisher has a streaming service that allows you to access their entire catalog on demand, plus any other publisher that has allowed their books to stream on that service. (I could see a small press benefiting from being on multiple streaming services.) They charge $7.99 per month. Cancel at any time.

You could have a Simon & Schuster subscription, a Random House subscription, and a HarperCollins subscription, all at the same time, in the same way you may have Netflix and Hulu at the same time and still use your library for Kanopy and Hoopla. It’s not a replacement, but an enhancement.
