Thanks, Amazon, but no thanks. I'll buy whatever I want, but a subscription? Nope.

hmmm i hope it's more than the previous list of Prime Lending Library titles. I didn't find anything in there I wanted to read.

That's one reason why I'm sceptical about subscription services. I tried some DVD exchange service, some years ago, and found the same thing - I could get loads of the 2nd and 3rd rate stuff nobody wanted, but of the few titles I actually wanted, I waited and waited .... and gave up and cancelled.

Besides, I reread books, often many years later. It's why I've got so many.
