Scribd.com is going back to the Unlimited model, after 2 years on a credit system! This appears to include audibooks. This appears to me to be a result of Audible's unlimited package. I have been using the heck out of Audible since the day it went live. $6.95 for all I can listen is phenomenal. Not sure I can justify a second subscription, as I have hundreds in my Audible wish list. But I will be browsing!

Scribd’s Quest To Be “The Netflix Of Reading” Is Finally Paying Off

Curtailing its original unlimited plan bought Scribd breathing room to work on a better strategy. It’s once again calling the service unlimited—with an asterisk. In the textual equivalent of a wireless carrier offering unlimited data but throttling speeds for bandwidth hogs, people who read a very high number of books (which Adler won’t specify, saying that it’s still subject to tweaking) in a given month will get access to a smaller selection of titles until the next billing cycle begins. This will affect up to 8% of readers.
