Recently there were a pair of revealing eruptions in the world of ebooks and the volatile book publishing industry more generally.
The first was the announced demise of Oyster, an ebook subscription startup based in New York and backed by $17 million in VC funding.
While the announcement of Oyster’s shutdown is remarkable for its lack of transparency, apparently after its sun sets, Oyster’s excellent ebook reader expertise will be transferred to Google in the form of its founders and probably some of its tech or even the entire company, but perhaps not its pricey ebook contracts with publishers.
