I signed up for Scribd the other day. In addition to the monthly plan, they also have an annual plan, which is much cheaper (about $47/year, or about the cost of a non-resident library card). The app could definitely use some additional features as it is rather basic, but it is usable, particularly on a tablet. The selection of books is decent, provided you don't mind reading backlist titles. I've seen many titles not available at my local library, and I've also seen many titles I've previously purchased, so I'm satisfied with the selection, although obviously I hope they are able to offer titles from more publishers.
I figure for about the cost of a non-resident library card, I have access to a decent collection of books with no wait list and no due dates, so I can deal with the limitations of the software, although I do plan to request added features. Overall, I'm satisfied, and have no regrets about signing up for the annual plan without first taking advantage of the trial month they offer.
