Scribd file conversion

Paltieldav · 03-16-2016, 07:15 AM

Hey All,

Has anyone had any luck converting scribd books into a readable format for another ebook app? They come in 2 types. One is a content file and an Metadata file. Sometimes you can add.pdf to the content file and it opens sometimes not.
The second is a folder containing a number of json files and font folde and other files.

Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

No one is helping you because Scribd is a subscription service. You don't "own" the books, you are paying for access to them for a limited time. I'm not making any moral judgements. The law of intellectual property is a mess, and individuals need to decide for themselves what they are comfortable with and be prepared to deal with the consequences if they do choose to break the law. Discussion of DRM is limited on Mobileread. The most you would probably get anyway is a link to another site, which will also not help you with removal of DRM from library books or subscription services.
