First, They misrepresent their plan. It's extremely limited. Note: I DO NOT CONSIDER blocking any title from access as unlimited. It's misleading. They do have a section that is indeed unlimited. You can find most of them on the net for free. Other titles both audio and ebook are INDEED limited. For example, I'm now blocked from listening to any more Rebus series titles for the rest of the month after listening to two. I can listen again IF I renewed in November on the 18th [not happening.] This is NOT unlimited. Frankly since 95% of the unlimited section can be found free, the question is why would I bother paying for what costs nothing?

For over $100 a year you get 24 audiobooks and pretty much close to the same number of books. For the entire year. That's the limit (we won't count assorted docs uploaded about various crap including samples with "buy the full" ads. So it isn't unlimited. Appears someone in their office needs to buy a dictionary. Around 2.25 an item.

Second, for 50 bucks, I can join the Brooklyn public library (any where in the USA. Open to US only) for a year. I can access their overdrive and several other digital collections from anywhere in the United States. I can check out 15 items every seven days if I choose just from their overdrive collection. 780 books a year. 15 from their bibliotheca collection; another 780 books a year. 1560 books just from two collections offered. Cost?. 032 cents a book. PS. If you live in NY? It is free. Their overdrive counts over 100,000 books alone not counting the rest.
Edited to add: I forgot to add that they also have videos, music and offer free access to things such as Mango language app.

Will update if they pull the charge after cancellation in November. So far it says free trial ends November 18th.

Scribd is overpriced and way overrated. And a very poor model.
