Well for most e-ink devices, overdrive does have a tablet app. I also like having calibre as my "backup" system. I have been burned too many times with ebook stores closing and I lost out on books that I did purchase.
Regarding scribd, it is a good company however I didn't like their tablet app either. I couldn't get it to work with audio books (at least with my android tablet anyway, and the feedback option in the app always crashed lol). Normal book reading was fine though. I did read a few books on scribd I didn't have access to in libraries , but I also let my subscription lapse. I just have too many in my purchased "to read" pile to justify continuing the subscription right now. 
Oh btw Bear, you might want to take a look at calibre. You can easily convert and copy a book to your device in one go if you need. It does a nice job of converting epub to mobi (kindle) and vice versa. Among many other formats. Of course, perhaps, this is what you already do. |
Believe me, I have calibre! LOVE IT. Couldn't get by without it. I do it in a couple of steps because I'm not that good at remembering what to do each time. Calibre not only helps me with my publishing, it makes it possible for me to buy books from various retailers. ROCKS.
