E-Content Subscriptions: Scribd Surpasses 1,000,000 Subscribers Worldwide
From the Scribd Blog:
The road to one million has been an incredible journey. Scribd launched in 2007 as the first open publishing platform, offering users a simple way to upload and share content online. The company evolved in 2013 when we became the first digital subscription reading service, and again in 2015 when we started working with publishers to offer a multitude of content types, including audiobooks and magazines. In 2018, Scribd introduced an unlimited* subscription to the world’s largest library of digital content — and now, we can proudly say that more than one million paying subscribers from all over the world are reading on Scribd.
