Scribd

edit

Scribd is a social reading and publishing website. The company houses tens of millions written works, including best-selling books, magazines, research reports, recipes, presentations, and more.

Scribd enables users to upload documents of varied formats, including MS Office Documents, Google Docs, PDF and ePUB files. Scribd then makes those documents searchable (across the web and within the documents themselves), social, and easy to embed within websites and blogs.

Scribd’s document reader has been embedded more than 10 million times across the web, on sites like The New York Times, USA Today, Guardian, and TechCrunch. Prominent partners include media companies like The New York Times, Forbes, Fortune; publishers such as Random House, Workman, Wiley, and Simon & Schuster; government organizations like the FCC, Sunlight Foundation, Red Cross; businesses including Ford Motor Company and Accenture.
