Scribd

Private

Scribd is a digital reading subscription platform providing unlimited access to books, audiobooks, magazines, documents, and podcasts. Originally launched as a document-sharing platform dubbed "the YouTube for documents," the company pivoted to a subscription content model and now operates three products: Everand (book/audiobook subscriptions), Scribd (user-uploaded documents), and SlideShare (presentations, acquired from LinkedIn in 2020).
