We pronounce it /skribbed/
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.

This app is great! Its like the Netflix of books! As a homeschool mom, this app has saved us $$$. We have had zero issues and found most of the books we needed. Thanks! We truly love this app!
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!
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! 👌 💯
