On what devices can I use Scribd?

You can read books on Scribd through your web-browser using any computer, or using the web-browser built into almost all smartphones and tablets. Additionally, you can install our apps on your iPhone or iPad (iOS 6 is required) or Android device to store books for offline reading.

Readers with web-connected tablets like the Kindle Fire or Nook HD can use Scribd. However, E-Ink based readers like the Amazon Kindle or Nook Simple Touch are not supported.
