    This has become a completely paid service. It is impossible to view any documents beyond the first half of the first page. They ask to register and ask to pay a monthly fee. Back in the day you could upload, download and share documents, papers and view them without restrictions. You only had to pay if you wanted to view copyrighted books of notable authors.

Access to User Submitted Documents is arguably its superior feature to Kindle Unlimited, next to unlimited access to PDF/Epub downloads.

Scrbd saved my Kindle from certain death when the extent of Amazon's unethical business practices was realized.

Pretty annoying site with a lots of irrelevant and non-free results. But it has plenty of good and documents if you have a lifetime to find them.

Large amounts of documents because everything that's uploaded is published. Takes time to filter out valuable files. Some of the books and materials are not free.

Stay far away. Content creators won't see a dime of revenue.

If you charge money for a freakin document you kind of deserve to get your work stolen imo.

Btw people, if it costs money on scribed, you might check sci-hub for docs, or zlibrary for ebooks
