Trend Alert: Amazon Possibly Launching Netflix for Books

Love reading? Amazon may soon be launching a new "Netflix-like books" program. This would so awesome!

From Mashable:

Amazon is planning to launch a service that would offer customers access to a library of books for a fixed monthly fee, reports The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The details about the project are scarce, but it appears that the library would primarily contain older works with restrictions on how many books a user can access each month. The service would also be available to subscribers of Amazon Prime, a membership program that gives users free shipping and access to movies and TV shows for $79 per year.
