scribd logoIve been a fan of Scribd since they started with ebook
subscriptions last year. Even though Ive also been impressed with
Kindle Unlimited, Scribd remains my subscription service of choice
for now.
They recently updated both their Android and iOS apps with twocolumns in landscape (long overdue!), and the apps now mimic the
website redesign with new discoverability options. (And my library
continues to growlike I needed to discover more books!)
While Scribd is not the best option if you like to read on an eInk
device, its pretty darned good if you dont mind reading on a phone
or tablet. Ive used my Nook HD, iPad and my phone (currently an
HTC One M8, formerly an iPhone 4S) to read books in the service,
and Ive had few complaints.

But dont take my word for it. Try it yourself. They offer a standard
30 day free trial, but, for TeleRead readers, Scribd gave me a link to
a 3 month free trial. Not a bad deal.
Enjoy some free reading!

One question about Scribd. Do you need to be connected to the net
to read? My tablets wifi is a bit flaky and runs down the battery
faster than Id like, so I usually run it in airplane mode.

A book is downloaded to your device in iOS and Android, but I dont
think the more recent Windows Phone reader allows off-line reading.

Super deal! Thanks Juli!
Oh, and I even read Scribd on my Kindle and laptop. Along with on
my iPhone.

what about the iPad? How do I download and read off line?
Juli Monroe says:

@Penny, yes, you can download and read offline on the iPad. When
you open a book for the first time, youll see an option to download
near the bottom of the screen.

How do I download a scribd book onto Nook? I have the Nook app,
and from there a book will show up on my Nook reader, which I love,
but I cant figure out how to get the book from my scribd library into
the Nook librarhy.
Juli Monroe says:

@Penny, you cant get the Scribd books into your Nook reader. You
can only read the books in the Scribd app.

hello,
they asked me for credit card information and i have no credit card
to use, can you help please?
Juli Monroe says:

@leen, sorry, but you must have a credit card to sign up for the
service. They wont charge your card until your trial is up, but you
need to have one on file.

This is amazing, man! Thank you! I just wanted to read a single
document and had already used up my free one month trial. Didnt
find it worth it to pay 8.99 for 5 minutes of reading.
I owe ya one! :)

@lplarry, as I recall, no, there is no offline reading mode for
Windows devices.

What if you just want to try the free trial to get a taste of scribd and
end up disliking the app? If you still dont like it after the trial, do
you HAVE to pay and keep?
Sarah Harrison says:

Anyway, can you please tell me the promo code?
Juli Monroe says:
April 20, 2015 at 8:33 am
@Sarah, no, you dont have to continue it beyond the free trial.
