SCRIBD does as far as I know.
And a subscription should probably count as a paid sale. The author makes money and so does the publisher. And in general, the reader is paying something. The amount paid might be in question but the publishers and authors negotiate WHAT they will be paid upfront. In other words, I get paid full price for the novel just like I would a purchase. Whether the reader ends up paying more or less than that depends on how many books she reads.
Don't get me wrong. I don't care if they count them as sales or not, but the reader is paying and the writer is earning, so the way I personally define that, it's a sale.
