More changes coming to Scribd in March 2016

Probably also some well-reviewed but long literary or nonfiction books that could well take nearly a month to read--things like _Infinite Jest_. That accentuates the quality of their collection and makes it look like their editors have good taste while preventing binges.

While I believe that I seldom went over three books a month with Scribd, just knowing that I could was a big selling point for me. I'm out.

I read anywhere from 1 to 16 or so per month, mostly around the higher end. Some months I probably read 3.

I wonder if it is worth sticking around for the change just to see how it works, but I'll probably.be better off saving my money at this point and using the library.
