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.
