Surpasses +3MM Android and IOS Downloads with Major Product Updates
Scribd now supports all Kindle Fire models, including the Fire HD and Fire HDX.
Scribd is not currently compatible with E Ink based Kindle readers like the Kindle
Paperwhite and the Kindle DX, as these devices do not allow third party
applications.
Scribd’s Kindle Fire app is part of a series of new reader-focused feature updates
for both Android and iOS apps, including:
Better, more readable fonts
More font sizes to choose from
Better support for managing your location while traveling internationally
Ability to rate content on a five-star basis inside the mobile app
A night reading mode featuring a softer black background
Better tracking of location with real page numbers from the print book
“Since launching our subscription book service, our readers around the world have
been asking for an app that worked with Kindle Fire. It’s one of the most popular
reading devices available today and we want to enable our readers to enjoy Scribd
across any of their devices,” said Trip Adler, CEO and co-founder of Scribd.
“We’re excited to be able to add Kindle Fire to our line-up of over 100 supported
devices.”
Scribd was used on over 11M unique mobile devices in December 2013 alone. Its
mobile app usage is up five times over usage compared to December 2012, and is
growing 50% month-over-month. The Scribd app is consistently ranked in the top
ten in the Books category in the US iTunes app store, and is the #1 Book app in
five countries around the world.
