Discovered a new digitial bookshop website that's worth checking out - Scribd. What iTunes did for music; Scribd plans to do for the written word. Think of this website as a social network for , readers, booklovers, publishers, writers, and information sharers at large. Feature rich in social networking tools, Scribd also offers books, magazines, powerpoint presentations, resumes, legal briefs, sheet music, recipes, and other sorts of documentation.
As a book lover, you can enjoy sneak previews, current great reads, exclusives from best selling authors, "first look" excerpts from new writers, etc. So, before you head out to your local independent bookstore, check out the latest BookPages, or go online to Barnes and Noble or Amazon, check out Scribd. It will help save you time in deciding what to read next and save money since the sneak previews and excerpts are substantial.
As a writer, you can upload your documents and share with it with the community (millions of readers) or only those people you use for free. Most popular document formats are accepted. You can also sign up decided to sell it within the Scribd estore.
Scribd's system is designed to allow any document available on its site to be read on different gagdets (e.g, a computer, a mobile device, or an electronic reader like Amazon's Kindle.). With this type of versatility, its no surprise that Scribd is positioning itself as THE online destination for readers.
