"Oyster, often referred to as &amp;quot;the Netflix of ebooks,&amp;quot; is now available for Android devices, Kindle Fire tablets and the Nook HD. It joins the company's existing\u00A0iOS app,\u00A0which the startup has supported since its official launch last fall.\r\n\r\nThe service is targeting serious bookworms in the US with a $9.95 per month, all-you-can-eat subscription service. Unlike Google Play or the iBooks Store \u2013 where users pay for titles individually \u2013 this set up encourages readers to try ebooks they may have otherwise ignored, as well as ditch those that they may have tried, but ultimately don't want to persevere with.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe design of the Android app is slightly different to the iOS version. The navigation icons have been shifted to the top left-hand corner and Oyster says it built a dynamic, responsive layout &amp;quot;from the ground up&amp;quot; to accomodate the different display sizes found on Android.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere are five themes to choose from \u2013 Standard, Nomad, Herald, Crosby and Wythe \u2013 the latter of which is brand new and features a high contrast typeface tailored for outdoor reading. Android users can turn the page using the volume buttons on their device and the app also includes 'Read Time' - a new feature that details how long it should take (on average) to finish a particular ebook.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Oyster | Android | iOS\r\n\r\nFeatured image credit: Shutterstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
