Publishers who have signed on say they see using Scribd as a way to give greater exposure to their titles. Links allow users to buy a book.

“Scribd has quickly become a unique online community where readers of all tastes can go to discover, explore, and share first-rate content,” said Ellie Hirschhorn, executive vice president and chief digital officer of Simon & Schuster. “Its unique approach provides us with the desired flexibility to determine how our content is viewed and used on a case by case basis, and is proving to be an effective tool for creating excitement for our books.”
