antoinef on 12 Feb 14"The ebook subscription service Oyster just caught the biggest shark in kids entertainment: Disney. The company announced on its blog that it's partnering with Disney Publishing and is rolling out a new children's category. Live today on Oyster's mobile apps, the new category means subscribers will have unlimited access to 100 titles from Disney that include properties like Toy Story, Cars, and the Disney Princesses. Oyster CEO Eric Stromberg told GigaOm that there are over 10,000 children's books in its library of over 100,000 in-copyright ebooks. Some of the titles perviously listed under the Young Adult category, like Curious George and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, have been moved into the children's category. The vertical also offers some picture books, but most of the titles will be primarily text-based."
