Does Scribd make money with stolen content?

Their statement: "Scribd (including Scribd.com and the Scribd mobile app) is a digital self-publishing and subscription reading service provider based in the United States of America. Our members and publishing partners provide content without pre-approval by Scribd." Someone published a text there, that he had taken from my website. Of course without informing me. It is now MY time I have to invest to get that theft removed. I have no idea if the uploader was rewarded, or if someone has ...

Scribd is the BEST!

I love Scribd it has been the best thing that I have discovered online in a long time. I love that I can find books that are audio/readable. No sight that I know offers a better library of books in this manner. I am so glad that I found this site and I do believe it is a keeper. I HIGHLY recommend it to those who are true book lovers.

Received a 6 month subscription as a gift and have thoroughly enjoyed the selections. I did find the filters to not be the best, but I am seriously considering signing up in the fall.

Saw a charge on my card for a scribd account and contacted support, instead of responding to the request it was marked as solved without any indication as to what the resolution was. Their customer service is absolutely terrible, went back into my back statements and saw they’ve been charging me for two months! I did not create an account with scribd, I’ve checked every email I own and not a single one says I have a Subscription or a card on file. What is going on !?! And why did the agent ...

Finally a site worth the price!

Finally a site worth the price! I've had my account for about a year and a half, and I'm so pleased i found it. I only use it for audio books and I'm very happy with all amazing books. The only bad thing is that if i listen to several audio books in one series in a short time, the next book might suddenly not be available for a couple of weeks. The amount of closable audio books is suddenly reduced to a minimum in the genre i like. That's irritating for me who sometimes listen 10 hours a ...

Not Trustworthy

Scribd canceled my account of four years without even notifying me, assuming I’ll be forced to sign up for the raised price?! Never missed payments since it’s automatically drafted, so not sure what happened. Tried contacting three times, yet to hear back from them. I hear a lot of people claiming to have been charged even after canceling subscription or free trials. I also noticed somehow I’m still receiving automated responses to my old email even after changing it on Scribd years ago. ...

Finally, a world without Kindle Unlimited!

As an avid audio book listener who wanted to get away from Audible, Kindle Unlimited, and other Amazon brands, Scribd has given me the ability to read voraciously. I'm a big fan of the app and recommend it to anyone I know seeking the same!
