So, while you can read an unlimited amount of books, the books available to read will shrink as the month goes on. However, there are multiple reports of Scribd allegedly restricting access after readers’ first or second book of the month! Which, to be fair, would be necessary if they believed someone was doing anything untoward with the content. The annoying part is that the way the above is worded kinda implies that on the rare occasion they’ll limit your access. If you’re only seeing a preview of a specific title, you should also see a notification of exactly when that book or audiobook will be fully available to you. Our members can always read an unlimited number of books and audiobooks each month but, occasionally, we have to limit the titles that you’re able to access within a specific content library in a 30-day period. Here is a direct quote from the Scribd website: It isn’t a kooky conspiracy theory, Scribd actually does limit the books that readers can access during a 30-day period. There have been reports online noting that Scribd does indeed impose limits, along with arbitrarily moving the goalposts and removing content to make sure people aren’t consuming too much of the “wrong” content.īy “wrong” content, I am referring to content that costs Scribd money to show you.įor example, Scribd allegedly pulled a lot of romance titles from view, assumingly because traditionally, romance readers are avid readers who will smash through content every month. There are also some other issues I have with Scribd, which I’ll explain more later on. So, in other words… yes, Scribd is definitely reputable and not some shady man in his basement.Īlthough, I have seen a few online discussions on Reddit that have shown Scribd to continue to charge credit cards after canceling memberships. Their founder, Trip Adler was named one of Forbes ’30 under 30′, one of Inc’s ‘35 under 35,’ and one of TIME’s ‘Tech Pioneers.’ Speaking of good company… TIME magazine named Scribd one of the ’10 Start-Ups that Will Change your Life’. They launched in 2007 and now have 80 million monthly readers in over 100 countries! So, needless to say, if you’re with Scribd, you’re in good company.
