I'm using them primarily for audiobooks and realistically can only get through one audiobook per week, but given the economics they're probably losing money on the audio side as well. I hope they don't cut back on the audios. If they do, I'd probably have to sign up for audible. The selections at my local library suck for both audio and ebooks, so I was thrilled when I discovered Scribd.
I do also read 2 or 3 ebooks per month on Scribd. Most recently, I was reading a NF WW2 book that expired with less than 24 hrs notice, so I'm assuming all categories will eventually take a hit.
Like others have mentioned, I wish instead of reducing selection they'd come up with a better fee structure (maybe based on usage -- e.g., 5 books or less for X amount, 6-10 books for another price and so on). Consumers would then be able to adjust their reading to what they could afford without the selection being compromised. I don't like the rotating model because it would take too much work on my part to keep up with what selections are available any given month.
