I just received an email from Scribd:

Dear John,
Thank you for being a part of the Scribd community. We are making some changes to the way our service works, and we wanted to let you know ahead of time.
Starting mid-March, your membership will include:
• Monthly Reads: three books and one audiobook of your choice from Scribd’s library of bestsellers and award winners
• Scribd Selects: a rotating collection of books and audiobooks handpicked by our editors, to which you will have unlimited access
• Substantial previews of any book or audiobook
• Unlimited access to sheet music and documents
We will continue to offer the most diverse selection of books, audiobooks, and more - without raising our prices. Your monthly membership fee is still $8.99 per month. To get you started, we’re giving you three additional Monthly Reads to use for any books.
We’ve worked hard to strike the right balance between providing our members with high-quality books and achieving long-term sustainability. These changes will affect a small number of members—only 3% in any given month. We want you to know that we’re continuing to explore additional membership options for all types of readers.
We welcome your comments, ideas and questions. Thank you again for being a part of our story.
—The Scribd Team
