Oyster, the e-book subscription service, has launched an Android version of their app after several months of being an iOS only app. Oyster’s business model is patterned after services like Netflix in giving users access to their entire library for a flat monthly fee. Oyster currently charges $9.95 per month which gives users unlimited access to their library of over 500,000 titles. Titles includes New York Times bestsellers, Oprah picks and Pulitzer Prize winning titles among others.

Much like what Netflix does for movies and TV shows, Oyster will provide personalized recommendations to help users find titles that may be of interest. Oyster also includes features to share activity with friends on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
