Disney Tries to Pull the Storybook Ritual Onto the Web

I wonder how many parents will sign up for this. I mean, if a parent already spends $80 a year on Disney books for their kids, then awesome- it might be worth it. But if you get the majority of your kids' books from the library, then $80 a year might be really steep.

I'd only be interested (but I don't know if I'd have the money for it) if they included non-children's books, like making-of books and whatnot (although the juiciest Disney books aren't published by Disney, of course), or (and especially) magazine and newspaper articles, which I can't imagine them doing (or having the rights to), so this will be a no-go for me. I wonder if it'll be a no-go for most parents. It just seems like a lot to me when you can just get books from your library (and other local libraries, since most library systems have the program (?) where you can order a book from another library and it'll be sent to your library).
