Whatever you’re into, we’ve got

something for you

Discover something new every day

Our ever-expanding library includes over a million full-length titles, ranging from widely-known
bestsellers to niche titles and publications.
In addition, we have over a hundred million documents, shared by Scribd’s community of users,
about any and every topic you might be interested in.

Originals you won’t find elsewhere

We publish new and experimental works in text and audio formats.
Whether you like riveting non-fiction or racy romance, a quick read on your lunch break or a
longer immersive experience, we’ve got something for you.

Help finding your next great read

We use a combination of editorial expertise, machine learning systems and search technologies
to make it easy for you.
Because we have a range of material, we can find the items that are connected. For example, if
you are interested in a particular author, you can also read related articles and documents, listen
to podcasts, or even relevant sheet music.
At Scribd, we believe in the power of the
written (and spoken) word
You may be a reader or a writer. You may be looking for a pleasurable escape or to
improve your life personally or professionally. No matter what your goals are, we
support you.

Our Mission

We believe that reading opens doors, and part of our mission is to change the way the world
reads by providing a wide range of reading material in both print and audio formats at a price
that is fair for both creators and consumers.

Protecting intellectual property

We take copyright seriously. We continue to protect the rights of authors and publishers by
acting quickly on valid notifications of copyright infringement. We also have a rapid response
group to respond to take down requests.Learn more
Community publishing

Scribd started as an open publishing platform, a place where anyone can share their ideas with
the world, quickly, easily, and for free.

Supporting authors

Your subscription payments allow us to pay our staff and the writers and publishers who make
Scribd possible. We keep the price low by minimizing our advertising costs, which is why you
may not have heard of us before. We rely on our community of subscribers and creators to
spread the word about the quality and value that we provide.

Make it your own

 We built Scribd with tools for you to personalize your experience. You can highlight
and write notes, change font sizes and color themes, set a sleep timer for your
audiobooks, bookmark titles and organize your reading into lists.

From major literary works and detailed historical and scientific studies to popular fiction and
self-help books, right down to bizarre self-published tracts about the role of extraterrestrials in
human evolution it’s incredible how much there is to find on Scribd. Fantastic!

Penny R.

I am beyond ecstatic over finding Scribd! The selection of ebooks and audiobooks is plentiful.
I have found and saved so many books to read and listen to that would have otherwise cost me a
fortune anywhere else. There’s no contest at all! 👌 💯
