I wasn't aware they had a large portion of their catalog on KU. As for Scribd, I'm not sure, that does have more big publishers from what I've seen. I use both KU and Scribd and find value in both services. It would be a shame if the big house publishers completely withdrew, but the article isn't stating that. What I found more alarming was the end of the article : "This move could be happening because Bertelsmann, the massive media company based in Germany, has announced that it will soon become the sole owner of Penguin Random House. Upon approval by regulators, which is expected, the company will purchase the remaining 25% of the joint-venture now owned by Pearson, the UK-based publisher that is shedding non-educational assets."
