The current problems with Scribd are two: first, that ePub is not an offered format, which means that one has to buy either a PDF (especially if the book is DRMed) or a a format to convert to an ebook format, something most people are either unwilling to do or incapable of doing;
and second, that there is no good way to separate the good books from the ones that are so bad that even your garbage can would vote to reject them.
Things will improve in terms of fining "good" as opposed to "garbage" when a search is limited to a known publisher or author, but then we are back to the original format problems. Will the books be available in ePub or in customized formats, or just PDF? Will Random House go DRM-free?
