Subscription service for books Oyster to close up shop

Oyster a.k.a. “the Netflix for books” has announced they’ll be closing up shop in the coming months. The subscription service for books debuted about two years ago and focused on improving mobile device reading technology. Users can continue using their accounts in the meantime or ask for a refund request from the company.

And while the service might be closing, it would seem we might not be seeing the last of them. According to a report from Re/code, some members of the Oyster team, including its CEO Eric Stromberg, have joined Google’s Play Books division. So, we won’t be surprised if some of the features and technologies they’ve developed might start showing up on Google’s Play Books app.
