Issuu vs Scribd in our news:
2018. Scribd reintroduced unlimited audiobooks and eBooks
Scribd has reinstated an unlimited audiobook and ebook subscription service. This allows users to read as many ebooks, magazines, newspapers, sheet music and audiobooks as they wish each month while remaining a subscriber. Casual readers who consume a few books per month from major publishers will find Scribd's service appealing. However, avid readers may encounter restrictions—not in a literal sense, of course. After reaching a certain number of titles, users will lose access to the full Scribd catalog and will only be able to read from a restricted selection. The exact threshold for this limitation is not specified. Amazon Kindle Unlimited serves as Scribd's main competitor but is available only in select regions and lacks many titles from major publishers.
2014. Scribd adds 30K audiobooks to its $8.99/month ebook subscription
As of today, Scribd subscribers will have access to 30,000 audiobooks. The company has introduced a new audiobook section on its website and mobile applications. When it holds the rights to both the text and audio versions of a book, you’ll have the option to switch between the two. For instance, you could start reading a book at home and then continue listening to the story in your car via audiobook if you need to drive somewhere. Scribd is incorporating audiobooks without increasing its $8.99 monthly subscription fee. Scribd states that its e-book service now includes more than 500,000 titles. Subscriber numbers have increased by an average of 52 percent each month since January 2013 (when the company discreetly launched the subscription service).
